Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 4 egg yolks, 30 g rice oil (or melted butter), 30 g water, 45 g rice flour (or cake flour), and 5 g cocoa powder. Mix until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip 4 egg whites with 80 g granulated sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the egg yolk mixture until fully combined. Pour the batter into a 375 mm × 240 mm (15 in × 9.5 in) cake pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10–12 minutes, or until the cake is set and springs back when lightly pressed. Allow to cool.

  2. Melt 85 g dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Add 25 g milk, 200 ml heavy cream, and 10 g granulated sugar. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Spread the cream evenly over the cooled cake. Roll the cake gently into a log shape and refrigerate for 1 hour to set.

  3. In a small bowl, dissolve 1 g powdered gelatin in 5 g water and set aside. In a saucepan, combine 45 g granulated sugar, 15 g cocoa powder, 45 g milk, and 15 g dark chocolate. Heat gently until smooth, then stir in the gelatin mixture. Spread the glaze evenly over the rolled cake.

  4. Garnish the cake with fresh strawberries and blueberries. Slice and serve.
