Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Offset spatula
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Rolling pin
  • Parchment paper
  • Knife

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp Honey
  • 1 cup Whipped cream
  • 3 cups crumbled Leftover chocolate cake
  • ½ cup Melted chocolate

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine crushed cake with melted chocolate and honey, mixing until it forms a smooth, moldable dough.
  • Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a neat rectangle, straightening the edges for an even shape.
  • Spread a generous layer of whipped cream evenly over the surface of the rectangle.
  • Using the parchment paper to help, gently roll the dough into a log, keeping it tight and uniform.
  • Wrap the roll and refrigerate it overnight to set completely.
  • Once firm, slice and serve chilled for a creamy, chocolatey treat.

Notes

  • Use store-bought cake or leftover sponge for quicker prep.
  • Soften the chocolate before mixing to prevent lumps in the dough.
  • Add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon for flavor depth.
