Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180 oC/ 350 oF/Gas 4. Grease and line a 33 × 23cm/ 13 × 9in Swiss roll tin

* Step 2

Separate the eggs. Whisk the egg yolks and 100g/ 4oz sugar until the mixture leaves a trail when the beaters are lifted. Sift over the flour and cocoa. Fold in with the hot water. Whisk the egg whites until stiff and fold in

* Step 3

Pour the mixture into the tin and spread level. Bake for 12 - 15 minutes, or until risen and springy. Lay a sheet of greaseproof paper on a work surface. Sprinkle with caster sugar. Turn out the sponge onto the paper. Remove the lining paper and trim the crusty edges. Roll up the sponge with the sugared paper inside. Cool on a wire rack

* Step 4

For the buttercream, put the sugar in a pan with 8 tablespoons water. Heat until the sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil. Boil for 2 - 3 minutes. Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl. Add the sugar syrup in a thin stream, whisking until the mixture is thick and cold. Whisk in the butter. Melt the plain chocolate and fold in

* Step 5

Unroll the sponge. Spread over a quarter of the buttercream. Grate over the white chocolate. Roll up. Cut one third away in a diagonal slice. Stick to the side of the larger piece with buttercream. Swirl the remaining buttercream over the log. Chill for 1 hour before serving
