Critical Success Points

  • Melt the chocolate with the cream without bringing to a boil.
  • Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks before adding the sugar.
  • Sift the flour and leavening to avoid lumps.
  • Let the ganache set in the fridge for at least 2‑4 hours before assembly.
  • Roll the sponge before it cools completely to avoid cracks.

Safety Warnings

  • Be careful of hot cream splatters.
  • Use gloves or an oven mitt when handling the hot sheet.
  • Be careful with the knife when slicing the log.
