Critical Success Points
- • Sift dry ingredients to avoid lumps.
- • Whip eggs and sugar over a double boiler for a stable foam.
- • Fold dry ingredients gently to preserve air.
- • Bake just until set (≈12 min) to keep the sponge flexible.
- • Roll the cake while still warm.
- • Spread ganache and roll promptly; reserve ganache for topping.
Safety Warnings
- • Hot water and steam from the double boiler can cause burns – handle with care.
- • The oven and hot baking tray are extremely hot; use oven mitts.
- • Ganache is hot; stir carefully to avoid splatters.
- • Raw eggs carry a risk of salmonella; ensure the egg mixture is cooked by the heat of the double boiler and the baking step.
