Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee (cooled)
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Dark chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy. Sift in cocoa powder and flour, folding gently until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 10-12 minutes until set but soft in the center. Allow to cool slightly.
- Brew espresso or strong coffee while the cake cools; let it cool slightly before adding any liqueur if desired.
- In another bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold in mascarpone cheese until smooth.
- Carefully unroll the cooled sponge cake onto a clean kitchen towel sprinkled with cocoa powder. Brush generously with coffee mixture and spread mascarpone filling evenly before rolling back into shape.
- Transfer to a serving platter, dust with cocoa powder or top with chocolate shavings, then slice and serve chilled.
