A Lotta Chocolate Part 3: Chocolate Cake Roll with Chestnut Cream

Chestnut Chocolate Sponge Cake Roll
Today I'm delighted to inform you that the 3rd post in my chocolate series will be on my dear friend Sala's blog, Veggie Belly. You may remember her as one of the gracious judges of the March 2011 DMBLGIT blog photography contest which I hosted. We live quite close to each other so we've also become good friends in person and not just online. Thus for once I was actually able to present the cake in my guest post for her to taste. Please hop over to her site for her reaction and my post. You can also go straight to the printable recipe here. Thanks for this wonderful opportunity, Sala!

    I can't believe it! What I recently made was a chocolate (fake with carob flour) roll with chestnut cream!
    But I used the puree, I really like your choice of whole chestnuts!
    Gorgeous photos as always!
