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?!?!
Ingredients
- 3 squares BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup flour, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2/3 cup water
- 4 ounces (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) Cream Cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 cups thawed whipped cream
- 3 squares BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate
- 1 1/2 cups whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray. Line with waxed paper or parchment paper; spray with additional cooking spray.
- Microwave 3 chocolate squares and butter in medium microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1-1/2 to 2 minutes or until butter is melted. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Add granulated sugar; mix well. Beat eggs in large bowl with mixer on high speed 3 minutes or until thickened. Blend in chocolate mixture. Add 1/4 cup flour and baking soda; beat just until blended. Add remaining flour alternately with water, beating well after each addition. Spread evenly into prepared pan.
- Bake 15 minutes or until top of cake springs back when touched; sprinkle with 1/4 cup powdered sugar. Immediately invert cake onto clean towel; remove pan. Carefully peel off paper. Starting at one short side, roll up cake and towel together; cool completely on wire rack.
- Beat cream cheese and remaining powdered sugar in medium bowl with mixer until well blended. Gently stir in 1-1/2 cups whipped cream.
- Unroll cake carefully; remove towel. Spread cream cheese mixture onto cake, completely covering top of cake. Roll up cake; place, seam-side down, on platter.
- Microwave chocolate and whipped cream in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 to 1-1/2 minutes or until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after 1 minute. Cool 2 minutes; spread onto cake. Refrigerate 1 hour.

Looks delicious! Is the whipped cream in the filling and the glaze a product like Cool Whip?
You can use Cool Whip, absolutely. Or “homemade”.
Oh, now I got hungry 🙂 Another great recipe that I want to try out, thanks for sharing 🙂
This looks so good! I love cakes like this.

Thanks Melissa!
Do you use self-rising flour or plain flour for this recipe?
I used AP flour, not cake flour.
Thank you for answering my question
