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.
