Sponge Cake

This Black Forest Spiral Gateau gives a German classic an elegant, rolled twist. A chocolate Swiss roll forms the beautiful spiral border, while the interior consists of layers of delicate cocoa sponge, homemade Sour Cherry Curd, airy Mascarpone cream, and juicy sour cherries. Finished with whipped cream, fresh cherries, and dark chocolate shavings, this elegant cake is a real summer showstopper.

The spiral pattern of the Swiss roll slices makes every slice a miniature work of art — a perfect centrepiece for a spring or café-inspired dessert table.

There are times when a bake exceeds all expectations—and not because it’s extravagant or fussy, but because the flavours simply belong together. This Swiss roll was just that. Inspired by the warmth and richness of Dubai-style chocolate, I folded pistachios and tahini into a velvety cream, added a crunchy layer of kataifi, and wrapped everything in a soft cocoa sponge. The first bite? I was at a loss for words. Just that rare feeling of stillness when something tastes exactly the way it should. If you love texture, balance and elegant flavours, this is for you.
