Chocolate Glaze: Here >>
Chocolate Mousse: Here >>
Cake Procedure:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Line the bottom of a 13 x 9 x 2 metal baking pan with parchment paper.
Spray generously with nonstick spray with flour and set aside.
Sift flour and cocoa powder into a small bowl and set aside.
Crack eggs into a large bowl.
Beat eggs with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute.
Increase speed to medium - high and add sugar.
Beat until mixture is thick and pale, about 3 minutes.
Sift dry ingredients over egg mixture and fold until just blended.
Transfer batter to prepared pan, spreading evenly to edges.
Bake until cake springs back when pressed gently with your fingertips. 10 to 12 minutes.
While cake is still warm, slide it out of the pan, with the parchment still attached, onto a clean kitchen towel.
Beginning at one narrow end, use the kitchen towel to roll the cake along with the parchment paper into a cylinder.
Assembly:
Carefully unroll cake from the towel; remove towel. Spread 2/3 of mousse over cake surface.
Roll cake back up, over the mousse, peeling off the parchment paperas you go.
Once the cake is rolled, wrap the parchment paper around it to keep it round, place it seam side down on a platter, and refrigerate cake for about an hour, until firm.
Remove parchment paper from cake and evenly spread remaining mousse over cake.
Pour glaze over top; refrigerate until glaze has set, about 30 minutes.
Drizzle with ganache.
