Method

  1. Preheat oven to Gas 4/180°C/350°F. Line a 33 x 23cm (13 x 9in) swiss-roll tin with baking parchment. Melt the plain chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. Whisk sugar and egg yolks in a bowl for 3-4 mins until very thick. Fold in chocolate. In a separate bowl whisk egg whites until stiff.
  2. Beat 2tbsp of egg whites into the chocolate mixture then fold in remainder. Pour mixture into tin. Bake for 15-20 mins until risen and just firm to the touch. Sift icing sugar on to a large sheet of greaseproof paper. Turn out the roulade on to the paper and cover with a clean, damp teatowel. Leave to cool.
  3. Melt white chocolate in a pan over simmering water. Cool for 5 mins. Whip cream until peaking then fold in the melted chocolate. Remove the baking parchment from roulade. Spread over chocolate cream. Using the paper as a guide, roll up roulade from one short end. Decorate with chocolate curls and raspberries.
