INGREDIENTS

50g (½ cup) chocolate;
60ml (¼ cup) milk;
50ml (3 tbsp) vegetable oil;
5 egg yolks;
40g (3 ¼ tbsp) sugar;
80g (2/3 cup) all-purpose flour;
30g (3 tbsp) cocoa powder;
1 tsp baking powder;
5 egg whites;
50g (¼ cup) sugar;
Chocolate drops;
500ml (2 cups) whipping cream;
150g (½ cup) hazelnut paste.

METHOD

Microwave chocolate with milk and vegetable oil until melted.
Whisk egg yolks with sugar until pale. Mix in melted chocolate mixture.
Sift cocoa, flour, and baking powder into the yolks and chocolate. Whisk until smooth.
Beat egg whites with sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold egg white mixture into the batter carefully.
Pour the batter onto a parchment-covered baking sheet and bake at 165C/330F for 12-13 minutes.
Trim uneven edges with the bread knife and cut the cake into 3 strips. Cover each strip with whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate drops. Roll carefully as shown in the video.
Flip the trunk over, see-side up, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Save some whipped cream in a piping bag. Combine leftover whipped cream with hazelnut cream. Decorate the trunk as shown in the video. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
