Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1⁄2 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1⁄2 cup + 2 tbsp flour
  • 1⁄2 cup + 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 cups prepared Coconut Lime Sweet Dip, or sweet dip of your choice
  • 1 2⁄3 cups icing sugar
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1⁄2 cup butter
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3 tbsp hot coffee
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • pine branches, optional
  • fresh or frozen cranberries, optional
  • icing sugar, optional

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 400° F (205° C). Oil Sheet Pan Liner and place on Sheet Pan.
  • In an electric mixer, whisk eggs and sugar on high for 5 minutes, until pale, thick, and doubled in volume.
  • Add water, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Sift in flour, cocoa, and baking powder, and fold very gently so that you do not lose any of the airy volume.
  • Carefully pour batter onto Sheet Pan Liner, spreading to all edges. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until pale golden brown.
  • While still warm, spread cake with Coconut Lime Sweet Dip.
  • Using the Sheet Pan Liner as a guide, starting at the short end, gently loosen cake while rolling snuggly into shape.
  • Sit the cake seam-side down.
  • Whisk icing sugar and cocoa, and cream with butter and salt.
  • Slowly beat in hot coffee for approximately 2 minutes, or until glossy. Stir in vanilla.
  • spread with mocha icing, garnish with pine branches and cranberries, and dust with icing sugar to look like snow.
