Chilli Chocolate Swiss Roll

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

   Tip: Use a high-quality baking sheet for a smooth roll.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

   Tip: Don't forget to whisk well to avoid lumps.

3. 3

   In a separate large bowl, whisk together butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder until well combined.

   Tip: Use an electric mixer for a creamier batter.

4. 4

   Gradually add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture, whisking until just combined.

   Tip: Don't overmix to avoid a dense cake.

5. 5

   Fold in the diced chilli peppers and chilli chocolate chips.

   Tip: Be gentle to avoid crushing the chocolate chips.

6. 6

   Pour the batter onto the prepared baking tray and smooth the top.

   Tip: Use a spatula to spread evenly.

7. 7

   Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

   Tip: Check frequently to avoid overcooking.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes.

   Tip: Don't skip this step, or the cake will break when unwound.

9. 9

   Roll the cake in a clean tea towel to cool completely.

   Tip: This will help the cake set and make it easier to roll.

10. 10

    Once cool, spread the confectioners' sugar over the top and roll into a log shape.

    Tip: Use a little extra sugar to help the roll stick together.
