Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Oat Log Cake

  • 1.25 cups pistachio cream
  • 3/4 cup toasted kataifi (made by sautéing 3/4 cup kataifi with 1 tablespoon butter)
  • 1 cup chopped dark chocolate
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1.5 cups chocolate mousse

Optional Decoration

  • Pistachio kataifi bites
  • Chopped pistachios

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chocolate Oat Cake: Make the chocolate oat cake according to the given instructions, then allow it to cool completely before assembly.
  2. Make Pistachio Cream: While the cake cools, prepare the pistachio cream or pistachio butter using a referenced recipe to ensure a creamy, nutty filling.
  3. Toast Kataifi: Sauté 3/4 cup kataifi with 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan until golden and crispy; this adds texture and flavor.
  4. Mix Kataifi with Pistachio Cream: Combine the toasted kataifi into the pistachio cream thoroughly to create a crunchy pistachio kataifi filling.
  5. Melt Chocolate Ganache: Melt 1 cup chopped dark chocolate in a double boiler by placing the chocolate in a bowl over simmering water on medium heat. Once melted, whisk in 1/4 cup almond milk until smooth and glossy.
  6. Layer Ganache on Cake: Spread the warm chocolate ganache evenly onto the cooled chocolate oat cake, forming the first rich layer.
  7. Add Pistachio Kataifi Filling: Spoon the pistachio kataifi mixture on top of the ganache and smooth it evenly using the back of a spoon.
  8. Roll the Cake: Carefully roll the cake with its layers tightly, then wrap it in plastic wrap and chill it in the freezer for 1 hour or refrigerate for up to 3 hours to set the roll.
  9. Top with Chocolate Mousse: After chilling, spread 1.5 cups of chocolate mousse or your preferred chocolate buttercream over the cake roll for a creamy finishing layer.
  10. Decorate: Warm leftover chocolate ganache slightly and drizzle it over the mousse-topped roll. Garnish with pistachio kataifi bites and chopped pistachios for added crunch and visual appeal.
  11. Serve: Slice the cake and enjoy it with coffee, tea, or almond milk for a luxurious dessert experience.

Notes

  • To make the pistachio cream or butter, refer to a trusted pistachio cream recipe to ensure the perfect consistency.
  • Ensure the chocolate oat cake is completely cooled before applying the ganache to avoid melting.
  • Use high-quality dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa) for a rich ganache flavor.
  • To toast kataifi, watch carefully to prevent burning as it browns quickly.
  • Chilling the cake roll helps it hold its shape and enhances flavor melding.
  • Leftover ganache can be stored in the refrigerator and gently reheated before use.
