Instructions

  1. Sponge cake: whisk the eggs and sugar until the mixture triples in volume, add the flour, and spread on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 min at 180°C.
  2. Immediately roll the sponge cake up in a damp kitchen towel.
  3. Ganache: pour the hot cream over the chocolate, then add the butter.
  4. Unroll the cake, spread with ganache, roll it up again, and cover with the remaining ganache, drawing lines to look like bark.
  5. Chill for 2 hours.
