CHOCOLATE TIRAMISU CAKE ROLL

I have always been intrigued by cake rolls. I think they look so delicate, and inviting.  Not to mention I always thought difficult.  That is until I made this Chocolate Tiramisu Cake Roll.

As I let you all know yesterday was my birthday and I made 3 delicious desserts, the first Turtle Cookie Bars.  I love my friends they will try anything. 

And since they are Italian they won’t just say “oh really good” and not mean it.  They will dissect that dessert till the last crumb has been uncovered.

Not only will they discuss it but they will also give you 100 new ways of doing that dessert whether you want to hear it or not.  Then of course they will move on to an antipasto or a pasta dish or their absolute favourite, something fishy.
