Jan 14, 2022, Updated Jul 19, 2024 I adore an airy, cream-stuffed sponge cake like this Chocolate Swiss Roll.

The cloud-like chocolate sponge cake stands up to slicing through a pillowy chocolate cream filling and the contrast between rich cream and feather-light cake is just so good....

I fell in love with churros one chilly January while living in Barcelona. The “granges” on Carrer Petritxol in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter and San Ginés in Madrid serve endless plates of piping hot, crispy churros and steaming cups of Spanish drinking chocolate for dipping. I often found myself there in need of a warm pick-me-up with friends in the afternoons after class or even in the early mornings after a night of dancing at the discotecas....
