Next reason for baking

What's next after Christmas?? New Year

Inbetween these occasions, do I really need a reason to bake? NOPE!

Feeling chocolatey - chocolate mousse cake. Easy fast and just minmum baking.

Instead of a chocolate sponge based, I have decided to go with Vanilla sponge base. Chocolate mousse with a few strawberries and chocolate macron made a week before.

Chocolate Raspberry Roll

Chocolate Roll
3oz dark chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup plain flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
4 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbs cold water

Chatilly Cream
2 cups hearvy cream
2 tbs confectioner's sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
fresh raspberries, to fill
___________________________________

Chocolate Roll: Preheat oven to 190*C
Butter and flour a 38 x 21 cm pan. Line with parchment paper.
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water. Set aside to cool. Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Beat eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until creamy. Add vanilla. Use a rubber spatula to fold dry ingredients into the egg mixture, alternating with the water. Add the chocolate. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 10 to 15 mins or until springy to the touch. Remove from pan immediately to cool.
Chantilly Cream: Beat the cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract with mixer until stiff.
Constructing: Unroll the cake and spread evenly with half the chantilly cream, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle with raspberries. Reroll the cake. Slice and serve with the remaining chantilly passed separately.

(I made my brother-in-law's birthday cake with this recipe, instead of a roll, I ensemble it into a layer cake)
