After 30 min. check if you can roll up the cake. Please start with a short side of the cake.

If cake refuses to cooperate and still wants to stay straight, please wet the top kitchen towel again.

Cover the cake with wet towel and after 10 min try to roll up. It will work.

Unroll the cake, then spread the Strawberry Buttercream filling, leaving a 1 inch border all around the edges.

Using both hands, roll the cake up.

Then wrap in cling wrap or wet towel and refrigerate. (Also, you can keep it in the freezer)

If you want to add chocolate ganache because they say “Life is short eat chocolate” who am I to say “NO”!

To make chocolate ganache you need only 2 ingredients: heavy cream, chocolate chips.

Chocolate Ganache

1 cup heavy cream

1 1/2 chocolate chips

Bring 1 cup of the heavy cream to a simmer.

Remove from heat and pour over 1 and 1/2 cup chocolate chips.

Let stand until chocolate has softened. (5 min)

After 5 min. stir with a whisk until smooth and shiny.
