Sticky Chocolate and Bourbon Scrolls

Sticky Chocolate and Bourbon Scrolls

Sticky Chocolate and Bourbon Scrolls

This recipe was originally planned to be chocolate and coffee flavored scrolls, in which the actual dough of the scroll was fluffy and lush but the coffee glaze was not really a standout and to be honest a little boring. Maybe it was the fact chocolate and coffee is such a common flavor combo or maybe there was just no interesting wow factor in the treats.

As I had an awesome cloud-like dough recipe I decided I had to do something with this so I went on an experimental journey with a range of different flavor combos from ingredients that I had in my pantry.

After a few combo assortments, I landed on one I was super happy with and couldn’t stop eating!

I have baked with Chocolate and Bourbon previously (see my Bourbon Chocolate Cake with Peanut Bourbon Icing), thus I knew these flavors work together, however this time I wanted to add an almost caramel flavor to the mix therefore used brown sugar and honey for the glaze that would traditionally be make from white sugar only.

The outcome of the glaze was to die for. It is easily the standout of the scrolls I made up in my experimenting …It’s made me want to make a bourbon, caramel and honey cake now…maybe that can be my next experiment….

  17. With a longest side facing you roll the long side of the dough tightly into a swiss roll (jelly-roll style logs), seam side at the bottom of the roll.
  18. Cut the roll into 3cm sized spiral slices and arrange the spiral slices cut side up into the cake tin on top of the glaze.
  19. Push the spirals into the base of the tin slightly with fingertips and brush the tops with the 20ml milk.

  21. Place the tin in the middle of the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the tops are golden in colour.
  22. Invert onto a plate and top with any remaining syrup left in the tin.
