How to Make Passover Chocolate Roll

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour an 11x16 inch jelly roll pan.
  3. Line the pan with parchment paper, ensuring it extends over the edges for easy rolling. Grease the parchment paper.
  4. In a large bowl, beat 6 large egg yolks until light and fluffy. Gradually add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, beating until the mixture is thick and pale yellow.
  5. In a separate saucepan, melt 8 ounces of bittersweet chocolate with ¼ cup strong brewed coffee over low heat. Stir until smooth and let cool slightly.
  6. Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture and beat until well combined.
  7. In a clean bowl, beat 6 large egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
  8. Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  9. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully invert the cake onto a clean piece of parchment paper.
  11. Peel off the original parchment paper. Let the cake cool completely.
  12. Trim the edges of the cake if they are dry using a sharp knife.
  13. Dust the top of the cake lightly with unsweetened cocoa powder.
  14. To make the filling: In a chilled bowl, beat 2 cups heavy cream with 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and ¼ cup powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  15. Set aside ¼ cup of the whipped cream for garnish. Spread the remaining whipped cream evenly over the cake, leaving about 1 inch of the narrow side uncovered.
  16. Starting from the opposite narrow side, tightly roll the cake into a log.
  17. Frost the top of the rolled cake with the reserved whipped cream.
  18. If desired, garnish with chocolate shavings or curls.
  19. Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap and freeze until ready to serve. Thaw slightly before slicing. Cut into approximately 1-inch thick slices.
