Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas 6). Grease a 23 × 33 cm (9 × 13 inch) Swiss roll (jelly roll) tin and line with baking (parchment) paper.
- Beat the eggs, sugar, orange zest and juice until light and fluffy. Sift the flour and baking powder over the egg mixture; fold in with a whisk.
- Spread the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until springy to the touch. Remove from the oven and turn out onto a sheet of baking paper. Let cool for 5 minutes then carefully peel off the baking paper and cover with a tea towel.
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl over gently simmering water; cool. Whip the cream until stiff. Gradually stir in the chocolate, coffee and icing sugar. Place about ½ cup chocolate cream in a piping (icing) bag fitted with a large star nozzle.
- Remove the tin and top sheet of paper from the cake. Spread three-quarters of the chocolate cream over the cake. Using the bottom sheet of baking paper to help keep the roll neat, roll up the cake, starting from a long side.
- Spread remaining chocolate cream over cake. Pipe small rosettes on the top. Dust with cocoa and decorate with chocolate flowers and leaves.
