Can I use active sourdough starter instead of discard in Sourdough Chocolate Swiss Roll?

Absolutely! Whether active or discard, the starter adds a nice tang and moisture to the cake.

How do I prevent my Swiss roll from cracking?

Rolling the cake while warm and letting it cool in the rolled shape helps prevent cracks. If needed, use a damp towel while rolling.

Can I make Chocolate Swiss Roll ahead of time?

Yes! Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for longer storage.

Is there a substitute for Greek yogurt in the Chocolate cream filling?

You can use mascarpone, cream cheese, or coconut yogurt for a dairy-free option.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, honey, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add the sourdough starter and mix well.
In a separate bowl, sift together whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually fold into the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, until a smooth batter forms.
Pour the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread it into a thin, even layer. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until set but still soft.
While warm, place a clean kitchen towel over the cake, then roll it gently from one end to the other. Let it cool completely in the rolled shape.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling by mixing Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, honey, and melted dark chocolate until smooth.
Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the filling evenly over it. Re-roll tightly without cracking.
Dust with extra cocoa powder or drizzle with melted chocolate before serving. Slice and enjoy!
