Stage 2 - Preparation (about 45 min) :

Preparing the sponge cake 🫓 :

Gently add the sifted flour, cocoa powder and baking powder. Mix gently.
Pour the dough onto a baking tray lined with baking parchment and spread evenly.

Fitting the log 🪵 :

Gently roll out the cooled sponge cake.
Spread a thin layer of chocolate ganache over the sponge cake.
Add a layer of red fruit on top of the ganache.
Gently roll the sponge into a log.
Cover the log with the remaining chocolate ganache.
Use a fork to create striations imitating the bark of a tree.
