Preparation procedure

  • Cocoa sponge Separate the whites and yolks. Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt into stiff peaks. On low speed gradually add the yolks, then the sugar and cocoa. Finally gently fold in the baking powder. Spread the batter onto a 30 × 40 cm baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 170 °C for 10 minutes. Let cool.
  • Pudding base for the cream Mix the milk, Zlatý klas and vanilla sugar well and cook a thick pudding. Cover with foil directly on the surface and let it cool completely.
  • Buttercream Beat the butter with the powdered sugar into a light foam. Gradually add the cooled pudding. Add rum to taste (if the roulade is intended for adults). Separate half of the cream and stir cocoa into one portion.
  • Filling the roulade Turn the cooled sponge onto a clean towel and remove the baking paper. Spread the light cream over the entire sheet. Spread the dark cocoa cream only over two-thirds of the surface (from one side). Using the towel, roll up tightly so that the cream is distributed evenly.
  • Finishing Transfer the roulade to a rack and pour chocolate glaze over it. Decorate to taste with small decorations. Let chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours to set.
