Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Chocolate Swiss Roll
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder.

- Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for a smooth and creamy buttercream.
- Chill the rolled cake completely before slicing to prevent the filling from oozing out.
