2. Roll the Cake:

3. Let it cool completely rolled.

3. Make the Filling:

1. Whip the cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.

2. Fold in chocolate spread or ganache until smooth.

4. Fill & Re-Roll:

1. Unroll the cooled cake.

2. Spread the filling evenly, then re-roll (without the towel this time).

3. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes.

5. Make Ganache:

1. Heat the cream until just about to boil.

2. Pour over chopped chocolate. Wait 1–2 mins, then stir until smooth.

6. Decorate:
