Method
-
1To make the Cointreau strawberries, combine strawberry, Cointreau and sugar in a bowl. Set aside for 3 hours to macerate.
-
2Meanwhile, preheat oven to 180°C. Brush a 30 x 24cm Swiss roll pan with melted butter. Line the base and 2 short sides with non-stick baking paper, allowing sides to overhang by about 5cm.
-
3Use an electric beater to beat egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl until thick and pale. Sift over the cocoa powder and flour. Add chocolate and milk. Stir until combined.
-
4Use a clean electric beater to beat the egg whites in a bowl until soft peaks form. Fold one-quarter of the egg white into the chocolate mixture. Fold in the remaining egg white until just combined.
-
5Pour the mixture into the lined pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cake is firm and springs back when lightly tapped. Carefully turn the cake onto a sheet of non-stick baking paper. Set aside for 3-5 minutes to cool. Trim 2cm from 1 short side. Starting from the short side closest to you, and using the paper as a guide, gently roll up the cake. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool. Gently unroll the cake.
-
6Use an electric beater to beat the cream in a bowl until firm peaks form. Spread over the cake, leaving a 4cm border at the short side furthest from you. Using the paper as a guide, roll up the cake. Dust with cocoa powder. Serve with the Cointreau strawberries.
