Chocolate Cake Roll with Praline Filling
This show-stopping cake roll was one of the first “complicated” recipes I ever attempted to prepare. I discovered it was easier to make than I’d thought--and worth every bit of effort! — Joan Carrico, Grand Junction, Colorado
Reviews
The melted chocolate wouldn’t mix into the cake batter which left me with something resembling chocolate chip cookie dough. Also, the cake isn’t that sweet. I won’t be making this one again.
Recipe is very flawed. And it surprises me that the test kitchens approved it. When the melted chocolate is added to the whipped egg/sugar mixture, it immediately gardens into a clump. In order for melted chocolate to mix in smooth, it would have needed to be combined with a melted fat, like butter. I ended up adding a tablespoon of cocoa just to get the batter chocolate colored. Had I proceeded with the recipe as written, I would have ended up with a vanilla cake with clumps of chopped up unsweetened chocolate in it.
not as good as roll
Harder then expected. Youtube had an easier way!! Our 2nd one was 100% ?better
I used boxed angel food and added cocoa for the chocolate. great!
Yum! Reminds me of Ho-Ho's!
