Method

Pre-heat the oven to 175 degrees.
Whisk together the eggs, egg yolk, water and sugar until the consistency resembles ribbons.
In a separate bowl, sieve the flour, custard powder and cocoa powder together, then fold into the liquid mixture.
Spread the mixture evenly on a lined baking tray.
Bake for 6 minutes, then turn the tray around and bake for a further 6 minutes.
Remove the tray from the oven and sprinkle over with caster sugar.
Place a new paper on top and leave to chill overnight.

Ingredients

Method

Place the water, sugar, cocoa powder and cornflour into a pan and bring to the boil, whisking often.
Stir in the chocolate and mix until it has melted.
Take the pan off the heat and leave to cool.
When cooled, pour in the double cream and whisk to semi-firm peaks.
Remove the cake from the fridge and spread the chocolate cream mixture evenly across its surface.
Using the paper under the cake to help, roll it up firmly from one of the short ends.
Rest the cake on its seam and wrap tightly with the greaseproof paper.
Refrigerate and enjoy!
