Ingredients

For the sponge

Zest of 1 large orange

3 large eggs

125g unrefined Castor sugar

200g chestnut puree

40g unrefined Castor sugar for the meringue

15g good quality cocoa powder & 15g arrowroot - sieved together

For the filling

284mls (½ pint) lightly whipped double cream

2 tbsp. level cocoa powder

4 tbsp. level, icing sugar

2 large meringues, chopped

75g melted extra bitter chocolate

40g melted butter for buttering the tray

Directions

Preheat the oven to 200°C, Gas 6.

Line a 21cm x 30cm Swiss roll tin with baking parchment and brush well with melted butter.

Separate the eggs, place the yolks in a mixing machine with the Castor sugar, orange zest and whisk on a high speed until very thick, this will take about 15 minutes. Add the chestnut puree and whisk again to incorporate well, finally fold in the arrowroot and cocoa powder.

Whisk the egg white over a medium speed or by hand until thick and foamy.

Add the 40g Castor sugar and whisk again to just incorporate. The meringue must be soft and silky not too stiff.

Carefully fold the two together and spoon into the prepared Swiss roll tray. This amount of mixture will fit exactly into the tray.

Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, or until springy to the touch and well risen.

Turn out onto lightly sugared baking parchment to cool.

To finish, fold into the cream the cocoa powder, icing sugar and meringues together.

Spoon onto the sponge and carefully roll up Swiss roll style using the parchment, if the roulade splits slightly then don’t worry, it’s all part of this unique cake.

Transfer to a long plate and chill well.

Just before serving, drizzle with the melted chocolate and dust with icing sugar.
