Chocolate Cake Roll

 

Chocolate Cake Roll with Ganache Glaze

We call this a giant Ho-Ho but I guess it’s official name is a Chocolate Cake Roll.  (I’m still going with Giant Ho-Ho.)  Either way, it’s delicious!!!

I took this dessert to a dinner party so I wasn’t able to cut into it and show you.  Sorry about that.  But the people who gobbled this amazing chocolate concoction down appreciated the fact that I didn’t cut into it and take less.

This recipe came from Recipe.com

We put a cream cheese frosting in the center but if you wanted something less sweet (gasp!) you could go with whipped cream.  I can’t believe I just wrote that.  Less sweet?  Are you kidding me?!?!
