To make this Peppermint Mocha Roulade, you will need the following ingredients:
For the cake:
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the filling:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
For the topping:
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Crushed candy canes for garnish
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix until well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake is set and springs back when touched.
While the cake is baking, prepare the filling by whipping the heavy cream, powdered sugar, coffee, and peppermint extract together until stiff peaks form.
Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and immediately turn it out onto a clean kitchen towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake up in the towel, starting from the short end. Let it cool completely.
Once the cake is cooled, unroll it and spread the filling evenly over the top. Roll the cake back up, using the towel to help you. Place it seam-side down on a serving platter.
To make the topping, heat the chocolate chips and heavy cream together in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Pour the chocolate mixture over the top of the cake and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle crushed candy canes over the top for garnish.
This Peppermint Mocha Roulade is a show-stopping dessert that is sure to impress your guests. The combination of chocolate, coffee, and peppermint is irresistible, and the beautiful rolled cake is a feast for the eyes. Serve this dessert at your next holiday gathering and watch as your guests rave about it.
