CHOCOLATE CAKE ROLL RECIPE WITH PEANUT BUTTER

Have you ever made a Roulade? A roll cake? Are you too scared to attempt it? Well, you shouldn’t be.  This chocolate cake is easy to bake and it was delicious, however construction will take a little extra effort. Don’t be too overwhelmed with the recipe or the steps involved. Just be sure to have the proper tools, take your time, and don’t rush it.

If it cracks, it cracks. Just roll it up and cover it in chocolate. (In fact, you can see a crack in my cake by the large crevice along the side there.)
