Where to find ingredients
Look for these ingredients at your local grocery store. Instant coffee and chocolate bars are widely available in the baking or coffee aisles. Evaporated milk can be found in the canned goods section.
Preparation method
- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form in a mixer
- Gradually add the egg yolks and sugar to the stiff egg whites, continuing to beat until a homogeneous mixture is obtained
- Remove the mixture from the mixer
- In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, instant coffee, and flour
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, alternating with a little coffee if needed to adjust consistency
- Grease a rectangular baking sheet and line it with parchment paper, also greasing the paper
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at medium temperature
- While the cake bakes, prepare the filling: heat the evaporated milk in a double boiler
- Add the chopped chocolate to the heated evaporated milk and stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth
- Incorporate the rum (if using) into the filling and mix well
- Set the filling aside
- Remove the Swiss roll from the oven and immediately invert it onto a clean, dry kitchen towel that has been lightly dusted with sugar
- Roll up the still-warm cake in the towel and let it cool completely
- Carefully unroll the cooled cake
- Spread half of the filling over the cake
- Roll the Swiss roll again, this time with the filling inside
- Cover the Swiss roll with the remaining filling
- Decorate with mint leaves and cherries
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving
