Method
- Heat oven to 180C. Grease and line the Swiss roll tin with baking parchment.
- Put the chocolate, broken into squares, into a heatproof bowl with the Marsala wine and coffee. Melt over a pan of gently simmering water.
- Meanwhile, whisk the egg whites in a clean, grease-free bowl, until softly peaking. In a separate bowl, whisk together the yolks and sugar with an electric mixer until pale and thick.
- Stir the chocolate mixture off the heat until smooth, then beat into the egg yolks.
- Gently fold in the egg whites. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 25 mins, until just firm.
- Remove the roulade from the oven, leave to cool in the tin, covered with a clean damp tea towel.
- Beat together the mascarpone, icing sugar, vanilla bean paste and Marsala wine. Gently combine together with the whipped cream until smooth.
- Lay out a sheet of baking parchment, sprinkle on the caster sugar and edible glitter. Upturn the roulade on to the paper, peel away the baking parchment on the top. Trim off the edges to neaten.
- Spread the mascarpone cream over the roulade and sprinkle over the grated chocolate.
- Roll up the roulade tightly, from the longest side, lifting the paper, to help. Top with mini Christmas trees.
