Passion fruit beautifully cuts through the bitterness and richness of chocolate with a vibrant tang. Swap the passion fruit for Irish Cream for a wintry alternative. [Ed.: Note that this product is dairy. Only the passion fruit variation is kosher for Passover.]
a 23 x 33-centimeter/9 x 13-inch roulade pan lined with baking parchment, such as Gefen
6 large eggs, separated
a pinch of salt
175 grams/3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons caster/granulated sugar
150 grams/5 ounces dark/ bittersweet chocolate (60–70% cocoa solids), melted and cooled
15 grams/2 tablespoons Gefen Cocoa Powder
300 milliliters/1 and 1/4 cups double/heavy cream
1 heaped tablespoon icing/confectioners’ sugar, such as Gefen, plus extra for dusting
4–6 passion fruits
250 milliliters/1 cup double/heavy cream
75 milliliters/1/3 cup Irish cream (or other whiskey and cream-based liqueur)
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) Gas 4.
Whisk the egg whites and salt together until stiff but not dry and set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until pale, thick and mousse-like. Continue to whisk on low speed, while pouring the chocolate down the side of the bowl. Add a couple of spoonfuls of the egg whites and whisk vigorously to slacken the mixture slightly. Use a large metal spoon to fold the egg whites in, using a slicing action. Sift in the cocoa and fold until streak-free. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and gently level with a palette knife. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
Upturn the cake onto a fresh piece of baking parchment while still warm with a clean kitchen cloth positioned underneath. Peel off the baking parchment from the base and carefully roll the cake up, using the kitchen cloth. Set aside to cool.
To make the filling, simply whip the cream until stiff but not dry, sift in the icing/confectioners’ sugar and fold.
Unroll the cold cake and spread the cream evenly over the top, leaving a small gap around the edges. Scoop out the passion fruit flesh and seeds and layer on top of the cream. Roll the cake up again, sift over some icing/confectioners’ sugar and transfer (seam side down) onto a serving plate.
