CHOCOLATE SWISS ROLL CAKE (REGULAR & MINI)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray a 12×17 inch baking pan with nonstick spray or grease with butter, so the parchment paper sticks. Then line it with parchment paper so the cake seamlessly releases. Spray or grease the parchment paper too. We want an extremely nonstick surface for this cake roll.
• Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, beat the egg whites and 1/3 cup (67g) granulated sugar together in a medium bowl on high speed for 5 minutes or until stiff peaks form. Set aside. In another bowl, beat the egg yolks, remaining sugar, and vanilla extract together until pale and creamy, about 2 minutes.
• Sift the flour, 3 Tablespoons cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt together into a large bowl bowl. Pour the melted butter, coffee, and egg yolk mixture over the dry ingredients. Beat everything together on medium speed until completely combined. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold in the egg whites until completely combined. Avoid over-mixing and deflating those whites. Batter will be very light.
• Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. It will be a very thin layer. Shimmy the pan on the counter to smooth out the top. Bake for 10 minutes or until the top of the cake gently springs back when touched with your finger. Do NOT over-bake.
• As the cake bakes, place a piece of parchment paper (larger than the cake) or a thin kitchen/tea towel flat on the counter. (Note: I find a kitchen towel is better to help prevent cracking.) Using a fine mesh sieve, dust parchment/towel with 2 Tablespoons of cocoa powder. Once the cake comes out of the oven, quickly run a knife around the edges to loosen it. Immediately invert it onto the parchment/towel. Peel off the parchment paper that was on the bottom of the cake as it baked. Starting with the narrow end, begin tightly rolling the hot cake up with the parchment/towel. Do this slowly and gently. The cake will be warm. Allow the cake to cool completely rolled up in the parchment/towel. Feel free to place it in the refrigerator to speed it up, about 3 hours and up to 1 day. (Note that you must bring it back to room temperature before unrolling, so make sure you set aside enough time.)
• Bring cake to room temperature if it was in the refrigerator. The cake is prone to cracking if unrolled while cold.
• Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until medium to stiff peaks form, about 2-3 minutes. Then beat in the marshmallow creme, if using.
• Slowly and gently unroll the cake. Spread whipped cream evenly on top, leaving about a 1/2 inch border around the cake. Gently roll the cake back up, without the parchment/towel this time. Place on a wire rack set on a baking sheet (to catch the extra ganache). Set aside on the counter or in the refrigerator as you prepare the ganache.
• Place chopped chocolate and corn syrup, if using, in a medium bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan until it begins to gently simmer. (Do not let it come to a rapid boil- that's too hot.) Pour over chocolate, then let it sit for 2-3 minutes to gently soften the chocolate. Slowly stir until completely combined and chocolate has melted.
• Pour ganache all over cake roll. Feel free to spoon up any dripped ganache and spoon over the cake again. Refrigerate for at least 30-60 minutes before slicing and serving.
• Cover leftover cake and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

BIRTHDAY CAKE ROLL

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray. Line pan with parchment paper; spray paper.
• In medium bowl, stir together flour and baking powder; set aside.
• In large bowl, beat egg yolks with whisk until smooth and creamy. Gradually add 1/2 cup of the sugar in a steady stream, beating until well mixed. Stir in vanilla. Gradually add flour mixture, beating until well blended. Stir in decors. Set aside.
• In second large bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
• Using rubber spatula, fold beaten egg whites into cake batter until thoroughly blended. Pour batter evenly into pan.
• Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until cake is golden brown and feels spongy when touched lightly in center. Remove cake from oven. Immediately turn cake over onto clean kitchen towel. Remove parchment paper. Starting with one short side of cake, roll cake and towel together tightly. Cool completely on cooling rack, about 30 minutes.
• Unroll cake and remove towel. Spread jam evenly over cake. Roll up cake. Cut into slices to serve.

BIRTHDAY CAKE SWEET ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8" x 8" square cake pan.
• In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, cake mix, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth. Divide into 6 small bowls and tint each one with a different color.
• Place bread dough on a lightly floured work surface. Using a rolling pin, shape the dough into a rectangle, ⅛-inch thick and 13" x 10".
• Spread each rainbow filling across dough in separate stripes, length-wise, getting as close to the edges as possible. Starting with the long, red side of the rectangle, roll the dough up into a log.
• Use a sharp knife or serrated bread knife to carefully slice the log into 9 equal portions. Transfer to prepared cake pan, placing rolls cut side up, 3-by-3. Transfer to oven and bake until golden and puffed, about 30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make glaze. Add confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla to a large bowl. Whisk to combine, adding more milk if necessary to reach a consistency that is thick but pourable.
• Drizzle glaze immediately on cooled birthday cake rolls and top with rainbow sprinkles. Serve warm.

JENNY'S BIRTHDAY CHOCOLATE SWISS ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line all sides of a 17x12x1-inch baking pan with aluminum foil. Spray with cooking spray.
• Stir 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Set aside.
• Beat eggs in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer until very thick and lemon-colored, about 5 minutes. Gradually beat in white sugar until combined. Blend water and vanilla extract into mixture on low speed until combined.
• Gradually sift flour mixture into egg mixture, beating just until batter is smooth. Pour batter into the prepared pan, spreading to corners.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Cover a tray or pan with a paper towel and sprinkle it with confectioners' sugar. Loosen cake from the edges of the baking pan and carefully invert onto the sugared paper towel; cake will be bottom-side up. Carefully remove the aluminum foil from cake bottom, trimming off stiff edges if necessary.
• Roll cake from the narrow end while hot, bottom-side out, including paper towel. Cool completely on a wire rack, about 30 minutes.
• Unroll cake and remove the paper towel.
• Whip heavy cream in a large bowl using an electric mixer until stiff peaks are just about to form. Beat in confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract until peaks form, making sure not to overbeat as cream will become lumpy and butter-like.
• Spread whipped cream over cooled cake. Roll cake back up and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar.
