Cooking techniques

Whip the egg whites until they reach 8 and serve. Pull up the crooked ones as shown in the picture. Over-whip the rolls and they will dry out and crack as they roll.

As far as baking time is concerned, it really varies from oven to oven.

You don’t need to cover the middle layer of the oven with tin foil.

While baking, you can see the cake expand a little bit to the top, and then fall back a little bit and the roll is done!

The cocoa cake portion of this recipe consists of 4 thick eggs. Scaling down to 3 eggs is also good.
