Units
Scale
Genoise :
- 4 eggs
- 120 g powdered sugar
- 120 g sifted flour
- vanilla bean (optional)
White chocolate vanilla ganache
- 250 g white chocolate
- 120 ml + 120 mL full cream
Trim :
- 125 g fresh or thawed raspberries.
- Raspberry or strawberry jam, about 70 to 100 g

- Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
Ganache
- Split a vanilla pod in half and scrape out the seeds with a knife.
- Place the open pod and seeds in a saucepan with 150 mL cream.
- Bring to the boil and remove from heat.
- Leave to infuse for fifteen minutes
- Cut the white chocolate into small pieces.
- Remove the vanilla pod from the pan.
- Return the cream to the boil and pour over the chocolate, all at once.
- Whisk until the chocolate has melted.
- Add the remaining 150 mL liquid cream and stir.
- Filter on contact to prevent a crust from forming.
- Place in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight.
Génoise
- Pour the eggs and sugar into the bowl of your mixer and beat until the mixture triples in volume (about 5 minutes, depending on your mixer).
- Gradually add the flour to the egg/sugar mixture.
- Mix gently with a spatula.
- Prepare a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Pour the mixture over the entire baking tray
- Preheat oven to 375°F (180°C) and bake for 15 min.
- Once out of the oven, turn the cookie out onto a damp cloth.
- Carefully remove the baking paper.
- Roll the cake in the tea towel and leave to cool. (See notes)
Assembly
- Unroll the sponge cake.
- If it sticks to the tea towel, which is highly likely, peel it off the towel before continuing - it'll be easier to roll it up afterwards!
- Remove the ganache from the fridge.
- Whip for a few minutes on low speed until slightly thickened.
- Étaler environ 1/3 de la ganache sur le biscuit roulé avec une maryse ou un pinceau.
- Arrange the raspberries over the entire surface.
- Roll up the sponge cake as tightly as possible without crushing it.
- Pour the remaining ganache over the whole log to coat it.
- Use a spatula or brush to cover the entire log evenly.
- Top with fresh raspberries.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar (optional)
- Chill the log in the refrigerator for about 1 h before serving.
Notes
I recommend rolling your sponge cake after removing it from the oven and wrapping it in a damp tea towel to cool. This will allow the sponge to take on a rolled shape. If you wait for the sponge to cool, it may break when you try to roll it.
