Description

This festive hazelnut red wine roll is a real eye-catcher on any Christmas table! The juicy sponge cake with ground hazelnuts is filled with an aromatic red wine cream and a light vanilla cream. Chopped hazelnuts provide the extra crunch. The chocolate glaze with more hazelnuts and pastry balls makes this roll an unforgettable taste experience.

About this recipe

The hazelnut red wine roll is a firm fixture in our family's Christmas celebrations. My grandma always baked it, and I adapted the recipe for the Thermomix® a few years ago to make the preparation a little easier. The combination of nutty sponge cake, fruity red wine cream and creamy cream is simply unbeatable and reminds me every year of the cozy Christmas evenings of my childhood. The ingredients all play an important role in the taste experience. The ground hazelnuts in the sponge cake provide a fine, nutty aroma and a slightly rustic texture. The red wine in the cream gives a fruity depth, which is wonderfully complemented by the spices cinnamon, star anise and clove. The rose hip jam contributes a pleasant sweetness and acidity that harmonizes perfectly with the other aromas. The cream provides a light and creamy consistency, while the chopped hazelnuts and the chocolate glaze provide the necessary crunch and an additional chocolate note. When preparing in the Thermomix®, it is important to beat the eggs long enough so that the sponge cake becomes nice and airy. Be careful to carefully fold in the flour mixture and the ground hazelnuts so that the airiness is retained. The red wine cream should cool well after cooking before being spread on the sponge cake, as it could otherwise melt the cream. When rolling up the sponge cake, the damp dish towel helps to prevent breakage. For a vegetarian option, you can replace gelatin in the red wine cream with agar-agar. A vegan version is a little more complex, as you have to replace eggs, cream and chocolate. However, there are now good vegan alternatives available in stores. Instead of rose hip jam, you can also use raspberry jam or another red fruit jam. If you like it a little more Christmassy, you can refine the red wine cream with gingerbread spice. The hazelnut red wine roll tastes best when it is well chilled. It can be served pure or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and fresh berries. A glass of dessert wine or a cup of coffee also go perfectly with it. The roll can be prepared well in advance. It can be kept in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. The chocolate glaze should only be applied shortly before serving so that it does not become brittle. You can also bake and fill the sponge cake the day before and store it in the refrigerator overnight. The chocolate glaze and decoration are then done the next day.
