Chocolate coconut Swiss roll

Hey guys!!

So I've been dabbling in a lot of baking lately (amateur) and I've been loving it! If you know me, you know I love sweets. Like desserts are my haven and heaven. Hence the hips, ass and stomach( but oh well) So I've decided to provide y'all with recipes so that we get fat together.

Today we are making my version of a Swiss roll. And not just any basic Swiss roll. A Chocolate coffee Swiss roll, with strawberry coconut frosting in the middle and rolled in nuts and toasted coconut flakes!! If I don't have your attention now, I don't know!

You will need;

For the sheet cake

2 eggs

125g flour

2 tbsp cocoa powder

80g sugar

2 tbsp milk

2 tbsp oil

1 tsp baking powder

1 sachet instant coffee

Toasted Coconut flakes

Toasted peanuts

For the frosting

50g margarine

50g icing sugar

1 tbsp coconut essence

1 tsp strawberry essence

Using a whisk, whip the eggs until they double in volume. Add the sugar, milk, oil and continue whisking.

Add the dry ingredients and fold until mixed well

Pour the batter in a oiled and flour dusted sheet pan/baking tray and allow it to bake in your preheated oven at 180c for 15 minutes

Remove the cake onto a parchment paper dusted with icing sugar. Tightly but gently, roll your cake while still warm. Wrap a kitchen cloth on it as well and allow it to rest in the fridge.

Unravel the cake and apply light frosting on the inside and toasted coconut and nuts. Then, repeat the rolling process and let it rest in the fridge.

When its set, remove parchment paper and frost the cake. Add as much or as little of the toasted coconut flakes and nuts. For me, more is more! I enjoy the texture. Allow it to set in the fridge and voila!! You can have your cake and eat it too!!!!

Hoping I inspire my fellow sweet tooths (teeth?) to try this recipe. I hope it brings your tummy and eyes joy as it did mine!
