CHOCOLATE ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Grease a 9 1/2 by 13 1/2 by 3/4-inch pan. Cut waxed paper width of pan plus 5 inches in length. Line the pan so there is at least 2 inches of waxed paper extending over both ends of the pan. Grease the paper.
• Separate the eggs, and beat the yolks with the sugar, until they are light, creamy and thickened.
• Break chocolate into pieces and place in medium saucepan with the water. Melt over hot (not boiling) and let cool.
• Using clean beaters, beat the egg whites until stiff. Stir the chocolate into the yolks and fold in the beaten egg whites. Gently combine. To facilitate this, put a small amount of whites into the yolk and chocolate mixture and then add all this back into the whites.
• Spread the chocolate mixture evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Shut off the oven and bake 5 minutes more. Practice will tell you if the timing is right.
• Remove from the oven and cover top with a dishtowel wrung out in cold water. Stretch the cloth tight and tuck under the pan. Cool, and refrigerate 1 hour.
• Remove the cloth carefully and loosen edges with knife. Dust top heavily and completely with cocoa. Lay 2 pieces of waxed paper longer than the pan side by side overlapping with the top over the bottom. Turn out cake on bottom end of paper and carefully pull off the waxed paper.
• Whip the cream over a bowl of ice, and add the sugar and vanilla when it begins to thicken. Beat until stiff.
• Spread the cake with the whipped cream, with less towards the top. Roll the cake from bottom, the long side forward, using the waxed paper to roll it. When rolled, the paper should be all around it so you can mold it with your hands as you finish. Put on a long wooden board to chill for a few hours.
• When ready to serve, open the paper and cut off along side with the tip of a knife. If there are cracks along the side, dust all over with the cocoa in a shaker or use a small sieve or sifter to distribute it where needed.

HALLOWEEN OREO ROLL

Steps:

• Scrape the creme filling from the cookies into a small bowl and set aside. Transfer the cookies to a food processor and pulse until finely ground, about 20 times. Pulse in the cream cheese, scraping down the sides to evenly mix as needed, until a dough forms, about 15 times. Add 1 tablespoon of the milk if the mixture is too thick (it should be the consistency of a soft sugar cookie dough).
• Transfer the dough to a large sheet of plastic wrap on a work surface. Cover with another large sheet of plastic wrap and roll out with a rolling pin to a 9-by-12-inch rectangle. Set aside.
• Combine the butter with the reserved creme filling in the same food processor and process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add 1 cup of the confectioners' sugar and process until smooth. Add the remaining 1 cup confectioners' sugar and a pinch of salt and process until smooth. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon milk and process until the buttercream is light and fluffy, about 30 seconds.
• Position the rectangle of dough with a shorter side facing you. Remove the plastic wrap on top and evenly spread the buttercream all the way to the edges on three sides of the rectangle, leaving a 1/2-inch border on the short side opposite you.
• Roll the dough away from you into a log using the plastic wrap to help and place it seam-side down. Tightly wrap with the excess plastic wrap and tie the two ends to tighten the roll. Refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours, up to overnight.
• When ready to serve, unwrap the roll and transfer to a serving platter.
• Combine the marshmallows with 12 drops of orange gel food coloring in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave until the marshmallows lose their shape, about 1 minute. Stir well until deflated and evenly colored, then let cool slightly, about 1 minute. Dip fingers (wear disposable gloves for easy cleanup) into the marshmallow mixture and stretch in between your hands until thin and weblike. Stretch and wrap the marshmallow around the roll until the web effect covers it entirely. While the web is still sticky, decorate it with candy gummy spiders. Let stand until firm, about 10 minutes.
• Slice and serve immediately.

GINGERBREAD CAKE ROLL WITH EGGNOG WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with foil. Spray the foil and the sides of the pan with nonstick spray.
• Place eggs in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on high speed for 5 minutes. Gradually beat in sugar, molasses, and applesauce.
• Stir flour, cinnamon, baking powder, ginger, allspice, and salt together in a separate bowl. Add to the wet ingredients and mix to combine. Spread into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Lay a kitchen towel on a work surface and sprinkle liberally with 1/4 cup powdered sugar, or as needed. Remove cake from the oven and immediately turn out onto the towel.
• Start at the narrow end and roll the towel and cake together. Let sit until completely cool, about 2 hours. The cake will be sticky, soft, and spongy; it might come off a little on your fingers, but that's okay.
• Place mascarpone cheese in a medium mixing bowl. Beat with a hand mixer or an electric wire whisk and gradually add vanilla, followed by 1 cup powdered sugar. Slowly add whipping cream and continue to beat until icing becomes light and fluffy. Mix in eggnog.
• Unroll the cooled cake and gently remove the towel. Spread about 1/2 of the filling over the cake, leaving about 1/2 inch uncovered at the edges. Start at the narrow end and re-roll the cake. As you roll, the filling will shift a little and you may need to remove some if you've put too much on; that's okay, just have a knife handy to scrape off any excess as you roll.
• Cut into slices. Top with remaining filling and dust with cinnamon and powdered sugar. Or, wrap cake in plastic wrap before slicing, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving.
