METHOD

Step 1
  1. In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with 80g of the sugar until light and thick.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with the remaining 80g of the sugar until soft peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the yolk mixture into the white mixture, taking care not to lose air in the egg whites.
  4. Gradually add the sifted flour to the mixture and fold gently from the bottom up until combined.
  5. Pour the mixture onto a baking tray lined with baking paper, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 9-10 minutes, or until the top is golden.

Step 2
  1. Place the baked sponge cake on a kitchen towel, leaving the parchment paper attached.
  2. Sprinkle the surface of the cake with granulated sugar, Then gently roll the cake in the towel, carefully peeling off the parchment paper.
  3. Let it cool for at least 20 minutes at room temperature, Or use a quick chill for 5 minutes if you need to.
  4. Once the cake has cooled, carefully unroll it and spread a layer of mixed raspberry jam on the surface, followed by a layer of chocolate ganache.
  5. Then roll the cake up again on the short side.
  6. Cut the ends of the cake diagonally to form a tree trunk.
  7. Place the cut pieces on the sides of the rolled cake, securing them with toothpicks if necessary.
  8. Spread the remaining chocolate ganache over the surface of the cake and make lines with a spatula to look like tree bark.
  9. Use the cool setting if available to cool the cake before serving.
