Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Oat Log Cake

  • 1.25 cups pistachio cream
  • 3/4 cup toasted kataifi (saute 3/4 cup kataifi with 1 tablespoon of butter)
  • 1 cup chopped dark chocolate
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1.5 cups chocolate mousse
  • Optional: Pistachio kataifi bites for decoration
  • Butter for toasting kataifi (1 tablespoon)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chocolate Oat Cake: Follow the recipe to make the chocolate oat cake and allow it to cool completely before assembling.
  2. Make Pistachio Cream: Prepare the pistachio cream or pistachio butter according to the linked recipe while the cake cools.
  3. Toast Kataifi: In a pan over medium heat, sauté 3/4 cup kataifi with 1 tablespoon of butter until crisp and golden brown; set aside to cool.
  4. Mix Pistachio Cream and Kataifi: Combine the toasted kataifi with the pistachio cream or butter, mixing thoroughly to create a crunchy and creamy filling.
  5. Melt Dark Chocolate Ganache: Using a double boiler method, place chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water on the stovetop. Stir continuously until melted and smooth.
  6. Add Almond Milk: Slowly whisk in 1/4 cup almond milk into the melted chocolate until fully incorporated, creating a smooth ganache.
  7. Assemble the Cake Layers: Spread the chocolate ganache evenly over the cooled chocolate oat cake. Spoon the pistachio kataifi filling on top of the ganache and smooth it out using the back of a spoon.
  8. Roll the Cake: Carefully roll the cake with the filling inside, ensuring a tight but gentle roll. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap.
  9. Chill the Cake: Place the wrapped cake in the freezer for 1 hour or the refrigerator for up to 3 hours to set the shape and flavors.
  10. Add Final Frosting: After chilling, spread the chocolate mousse or your preferred chocolate buttercream evenly over the outside of the rolled cake for a luscious finish.
  11. Decorate: Warm leftover chocolate ganache and drizzle over the mousse layer. Decorate with kataifi and pistachio bites and sprinkle chopped pistachios on top.
  12. Serve: Slice the Dubai Chocolate Roll Cake and enjoy it with coffee, tea, or almond milk for a delicious and satisfying dessert experience.

Notes

  • Ensure the chocolate oat cake is completely cool before spreading ganache to prevent melting.
  • Use good quality dark chocolate for a richer ganache.
  • Kataifi can be found in Middle Eastern grocery stores or substitute with finely shredded phyllo dough.
  • Chilling the cake is essential to help it hold its shape when sliced.
  • Store leftovers wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
