Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Oat Log Cake

  • 1.25 cup pistachio cream
  • 3/4 cup kataifi (toasted with 1 tablespoon butter)
  • 1 cup chopped dark chocolate
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1.5 cups chocolate mousse
  • Optional pistachio kataifi bites for decoration
  • Additional chopped pistachios for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for toasting kataifi)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chocolate Oat Cake: Make the chocolate oat cake according to the instructions included with the ingredients, then allow it to cool completely before proceeding.
  2. Make the Pistachio Cream: While the cake cools, prepare pistachio cream or pistachio butter using your preferred recipe.
  3. Toast Kataifi: In a skillet, sauté 3/4 cup kataifi with 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat until golden and crispy, then set aside to cool.
  4. Combine Kataifi with Pistachio Cream: Fold the toasted kataifi gently into the pistachio cream, creating a textured nutty filling.
  5. Melt the Dark Chocolate Ganache: Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a simmering pan of water (double boiler method). Stir constantly as the chocolate melts, then gradually whisk in almond milk until smooth and glossy.
  6. Spread Ganache on Cake: Evenly coat the cooled chocolate oat cake with the melted chocolate ganache, ensuring full coverage.
  7. Add Pistachio Filling: Spoon dollops of the pistachio and kataifi mixture evenly over the ganache layer. Smooth it out with the back of a spoon for an even layer.
  8. Roll the Cake: Carefully roll the cake with the layers inside, then tightly wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill in the freezer for 1 hour or refrigerate for up to 3 hours to set the roll.
  9. Apply Chocolate Mousse: Once chilled and firm, remove the plastic wrap and generously spread the chocolate mousse over the surface of the roll as a final creamy frosting layer.
  10. Decorate: Warm any leftover ganache slightly and drizzle it over the mousse layer. Garnish the cake with additional pistachio kataifi bites and chopped pistachios for texture and visual appeal.
  11. Serve: Slice the cake and enjoy with coffee, tea, or your favorite beverage for a luxurious treat.

Notes

  • Kataifi is a shredded phyllo dough; toast it gently to add a crispy texture without burning.
  • If pistachio cream is unavailable, pistachio butter or a pistachio paste can be used as a substitute.
  • The cake roll is best served chilled but allow it to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before slicing for easier cuts.
  • For a richer taste, use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content.
  • This cake can be made a day ahead and refrigerated to enhance flavors.
