Romantic Chocolate Roll with Raspberry Sauce Recipe
1 box angel food cake mix
3 T. Dutch process cocoa, plus extra for dusting
1 t. vanilla extract
1/2 t. almond extract
1/2 t. imitation butter flavoring
1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened when ready to assemble cake
Whipped cream or whipped topping
Raspberries for garnish
Raspberry Sauce:
1 package (10 to 12 oz.) frozen raspberries, thawed
2 T. sugar
3 T. Chambord (raspberry liqueur)
Chocolate Sauce:
8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, grated
1/2 cup heavy cream or evaporated skim milk
Heat oven to 350�F. Line jelly roll pan with foil. Dust a linen kitchen towel
with cocoa. In large mixing bowl, combine cake mix and cocoa. Combine extracts
and butter flavoring with the amount of water called for on cake mix. Prepare
mix according to package directions. Pour into prepared pan.
Bake 15 minutes, until cake springs back when lightly pressed with finger. Turn
out immediately onto prepared kitchen towel. Starting at a narrow end, roll
(with towel inside) into log. Set aside to cool, then place in refrigerator to
chill.
Meanwhile, prepare sauces. To make raspberry sauce, combine raspberries and
sugar in food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Add liqueur and
chill. Strain if you like. To make chocolate sauce, combine chocolate and cream
(or milk) in microwave-proof bowl and microwave 15 seconds on High, stir. Repeat
until mixture is melted and smooth.
Assemble roll:
Unroll cake. Spread with 1/2 cup chilled raspberry sauce and
then with softened ice cream. Reroll. Wrap in heavy foil and store in freezer
until serving time. (It is better to make and fill the roll the day before serving.)
At serving time, decorate a clear or
white dessert plate by drawing
adjacent heart shapes with the chocolate and raspberry sauces. Place slice of
cake inside the hearts. Place a dab of whipped cream or whipped topping at the
top or bottom of the hearts. Top cake with raspberries. Pass raspberry and
chocolate sauces and more raspberries. Store unsliced remainder of roll in
freezer.
