Chocolate Black Genoise Roll with Coffee Ganache
Present a refined log that combines the intensity of dark chocolate with the captivating aroma of coffee. This soft genoise, rolled on itself, is covered with a smooth ganache for an exceptional dessert. Perfect for holidays or a gourmet dinner, it will delight all palates. Preparing the genoise requires a little technique, but the result is worth it. Beat the eggs with sugar until the mixture whitens and triples in volume. Gently incorporate the flour and cocoa to preserve lightness. Spread the dough on a lined baking sheet and bake for a quick cook. For the ganache, heat the cream and pour it over the chopped chocolate. Add instant coffee for a bold note. Let it cool slightly before whisking until creamy. Once the genoise is baked, roll it carefully in a damp cloth to give it its shape. Unroll, coat with ganache, and roll again. Let it rest in the fridge before serving. This log subtly blends cocoa bitterness and coffee depth for a memorable end to a meal. Follow our tips for perfect rolling and impeccable ganache.

When out of the oven, flip the sponge onto a clean, slightly damp cloth. Carefully remove the parchment paper, then roll the sponge with the cloth. Let cool completely.

Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Dust with icing sugar when serving.

- For crack-free rolling, do not wait for the sponge to cool completely before the first roll. The damp cloth will prevent sticking. The ganache should be at room temperature but not too liquid for easy coating. You can add a bit of coffee liqueur to the ganache for more flavor.
