Where to find ingredients
Look for the ingredients in the baking aisle, dairy section, and coffee shelf of your local supermarket or grocery store. If needed, substitute sour cream with heavy cream in the filling, but keep the original chocolate and coffee for the best result.
Preparation method
- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form in a stand mixer.
- Gradually add the yolks and sugar to the beaten egg whites, continuing to beat until you have a smooth mixture.
- Remove the mixture from the mixer.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the chocolate drink powder, instant coffee and all-purpose flour.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, alternating with a little coffee if needed to adjust the texture.
- Grease a rectangular baking pan and line it with parchment paper, greasing the paper as well.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in a preheated oven at medium temperature.
- While the batter bakes, prepare the filling: heat the sour cream in a bain-marie.
- Add the chopped chocolate to the heated sour cream and stir until the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Stir the rum, if using, into the filling and mix well.
- Set the filling aside.
- Remove the Swiss roll from the oven and immediately turn it out onto a clean, dry tea towel sprinkled with sugar.
- Roll up the Swiss roll while still warm in the towel and let it cool completely.
- Carefully unroll the cooled sponge.
- Spread half of the filling over the sponge.
- Roll the Swiss roll up again, this time with the filling inside.
- Cover the Swiss roll with the remaining cream.
- Decorate with mint leaves and cherries.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
