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.
