7. Unroll swiss roll and remove paper. Spread half of icing evenly over cake the carefull re-roll.
8. Cut 3.5 – 5 cm wide slanting slice off one end of cake. Secure this piece onto the rest of the cake with a little jam or butter icing.
9. Blend cocoa into butter icing and spread evenlyover the top and sides of cake leaving ends plain.
10. Cut flake into thin strips and arrange so that cake looks like a lof with bark. Serve dusted with icing sugar etc or store and put icing sugar on before serving.
Extra Note:
1. Make the butter icing as soon as possible before the cake so that it is really nice and soft. But not runny.
2. Heat up a knife in very hot water in a mug and dip the knife in the water each time you spread on more butter icing. It doesn’t matter if the knife is a bit wet.

Chocolate cake shouldn't have alcohol in it.
Also, they have egg substitutes for vegetarians-at least they do in the US.
Your best bet would be to buy a mix and icing from a local grocery store or market if you are an inexperienced baker.

The same way you would make a normal sponge cake. Just add cocoa powder into the mixture. And for chocolate icing, Just use icing sugar, cocoa powder and water.

The mixture for a regular sponge cake, just add cocoa powder into the flour.
NEVER put alcohol of any kind into a cake or ANY food.

I make cakes and other desserts all the time. I usually just use the mixes from the supermarket. They are easy to use and taste just the same.
