- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Ganache
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp coffee extract
- 1/2 tsp chocolate liquid stevia
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease. Set aside.
-
Chop the chocolate in a food processor until fine crumbs.
-
Add the remaining dry ingredients into the food processor and blend until combined.
-
In a stand mixer add the eggs and remaining ingredients for the cake and blend until combined.
-
Slowly pour in the dry ingredients into the wet and blend until all incorporated.
-
Spread this onto the baking pan, 10 by 14 inches was the size I made mine.
-
Bake for 10 minutes.
-
Remove immediately and sprinkle with a little unsweetened cocoa powder over the cake.
-
Cover with a clean linen towel. Place another baking pan the same size and flip over.
-
Immediately and carefully remove the parchment on this side. Sprinkle with more cocoa powder and another clean towel or use parchment.
-
Roll up, starting at the short side, while the cake is still warm. Allow to cool completely.
-
Once cooled, unroll carefully.
-
Whisk together the syrup ingredients and use a pastry brush to cover the cake with the syrup.
-
Make the filling in a stand mixer, blend on high until smooth and spread evenly over the entire cake.
-
Roll cake bake up, cover with parchment and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
-
To Make the Ganache:
-
Heat the cream in a sauce pan over low heat, until just gently simmering, do not boil. Remove from heat and whisk in the remaining ingredients. Taste and adjust sweetener if needed.
-
Cover cake with ganache and refrigerate. Use parchment over both rolled ends but leave the ganache on top uncovered in the fridge.
-
Allow to chill for 3 hours or overnight before serving.
Recipe Notes:
Net Carbs: 4g
- If you don’t have Swerve confectioners, use granulated or another granulated sugar free sweetener you like.
- You don’t need chocolate stevia but it does make the cake more chocolate flavored.
- Since Swerve is much less sweet than another granulated substitute, I would recommend leaving out the stevia if using something other than Swerve.
- 1/2 tsp of liquid stevia is equal to about 1/2 cup of sugar.
- If you don’t have mascarpone cheese, use cream cheese but make sure it’s softened well.
