Ingredients
- FILLING:
- 4 eggs, separated
- 2/3 cup sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons baking cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- FROSTING:
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Directions
- ●Place egg whites in large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Line a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan with waxed paper; grease the paper and set aside.
- ●In a large bowl, beat egg yolks on high speed for 5 minutes or until thick and lemon-colored. Gradually beat in 1/3 cup sugar.
- ●Sift flour, baking cocoa, baking powder and salt together twice; gradually add to yolk mixture and mix well (batter will be very thick).
- ●In a large bowl with clean beaters, beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff peaks form.
- Gradually fold into batter. Spread evenly into prepared pan.
- ●Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Cool for 5 minutes.
- ●Turn cake onto a kitchen towel dusted with cocoa powder. Gently peel off waxed paper. Roll up cake in the towel, jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; cool completely on a wire rack.
- ●Meanwhile, for the filling, beat the cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and almond extract, beating until stiff peaks form.
- ●Unroll the cake; spread the filling to within 1 in. of edges. Roll up again.
- ●In a large bowl, cream the butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the chocolate, milk and vanilla until smooth. Frost the cake, using a metal spatula to create a bark-like effect. Yield: 14-16 servings.
