03 — Method
- Make the ganache: pour the hot cream over the dark chocolate, stir until smooth, then stir in the butter.Making it from scratch? See the genoise — ≈ 20 min
- Chill the ganache 1 hour, then whip with an electric mixer until light and spreadable.
- Gently unroll the sponge and brush it with the syrup so it stays moist.
- Spread an even layer of ganache over the sponge, leaving a small border so it doesn't squeeze out.
- Roll the sponge up tightly and place it on the serving plate, seam side down.
- Cover the log completely with ganache, drag a fork along it to look like bark, then chill until serving.
