Chocolate Swiss Roll
Updated: Aug 1, 2021
Swiss rolls have always been a favourite of mine. The best snack you could get in your lunchbox as a kid was a mini roll to satisfy all those chocolate cake cravings. Now as an adult, those mini rolls just don't cut it. Which is why I whip up this Chocolate Swiss Roll on the regular. Soft pillowy chocolate cake, whipped vanilla cream in the middle and topped with a thin layer of chocolate ganache on top! One word for this.... YUM!
I love how this cake can be served simply at home with a cup of tea, or decorated with fresh fruit and chocolate decorations for a dinner party.
