MOCHA CAKE ROLL WITH RASPBERRIES

Making cake rolls (like this mocha cake roll with raspberries) is something that still INTIMIDATES me, even after making so many other complex cakes over the years.

I get so TENSE, mainly because I know that if I over-bake the cake even the slightest, it’s not going to roll well. Trust me… it’s happened before and I still remember that giant crumbly cake MESS in my kitchen.

But this time, I decided to make the roll, using a CAKE MIX and make my life easier.

I was still standing like a HAWK near the stove for the entire 11-12 minutes, while the cake was baking…hehe.

The end result was a MOUTHWATERING mocha cake roll with buttercream filling, topped off with glossy mocha ganache and fresh raspberries.

This cake was soft and creamy and had a big coffee KICK.

The subtle tartness from the raspberries PAIRED so well with the rich coffee flavor that I wanted to eat the entire cake myself…hahaha.

My hubby who is a huge coffee gave this cake a big THUMBS UP!


INGREDIENTS

  • Mocha cake
  • 1¾ cups Devil's food cake mix
  • 3 Eggs Large
  • ⅓ cup Water
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp Instant coffee granules
  • ¼ cup Powdered sugar
  • Chocolate ganache
  • 1 cup Dark chocolate chips
  • ½ cup Heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp Instant coffee granules
  • Filling
  • Buttercream icing
  • Decoration
  • 1 cup Raspberries Fresh, washed and patted dry
  • Shredded white chocolate

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a deep mixing bowl, add the eggs and mix until they are fluffy.
  2. Add water and oil and mix again.
  3. Add the cake mix and instant coffee granules and mix until just combined.
  4. Pour this batter into a jelly roll pan (Dimensions: 15in x 10in x 1in) lined with wax paper or parchment paper.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees for 11-12 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched. DO NOT over bake!
  6. Spread a clean kitchen towel on a table and sprinkle generously with powdered sugar.
  7. Turn the cake onto the kitchen towel and remove the wax paper.
  8. While the cake is hot, carefully roll this cake with the towel intact from one end to the other.
  9. Place this cake roll on a cooling rack and allow it to cool down for 1 hour.
  10. While the cake is cooling, prepare the buttercream icing.
  11. Also, prepare the ganache: Heat chocolate, heavy cream and instant coffee powder in a saucepan until everything is fully melted and smooth. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the ganache to cool down until it becomes slightly thick (but still has a pourable consistency).
  12. Now, unroll the cake gently and remove the towel.
  13. Spread the buttercream icing over the cake and re-roll it again.
  14. Pour the ganache over the cake and top it off with fresh raspberries and shredded white chocolate. Enjoy!
