Description

A festive and fun Sweet Halloween Roll featuring a vibrant orange sponge cake swirled with rich chocolate cream filling. This eye-catching dessert is perfect for Halloween parties or autumn gatherings, and it’s easier to make than it looks.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 100 grams sugar
  • 100 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Few drops orange food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 200 ml heavy cream
  • 150 grams dark chocolate chips
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 10×15 inch baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add vanilla and food coloring.
  3. In another bowl, whisk flour, salt, and baking powder. Gently fold into the egg mixture.
  4. Pour the batter into the tray and spread evenly. Bake for 10–12 minutes until sponge springs back.
  5. Flip the cake onto a kitchen towel, peel off parchment, and roll gently with the towel. Let it cool.
  6. Heat the cream in a saucepan until just simmering. Pour over chocolate chips, let sit, then stir until smooth. Cool until spreadable.
  7. Unroll the sponge, spread the filling evenly, re-roll without the towel, wrap in cling film, and chill for 1 hour.
  8. Slice and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Roll the sponge while warm to avoid cracks.
  • Chilling helps the roll hold its shape for clean slicing.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
