CHOCOLATE CAKE ROLL
This cocoa Cake Roll may be a cake that I made for an in depth friend to require home together with her to her family. She goes through some adversity and once I asked if there was anything I could do, she said “Chocolate Cake!”

She may be a big fan of chocolate like me, so I knew immediately that it might need to be a cake. I made a decision to form it cocoa themed because it are often so comforting. The soft, moist cake, smooth frosting, and marshmallows all make it a comforting holiday dessert
After rolling the cake, I had to form it look even, so I stop small slices off of every end. I don’t think I’ve seen my little guy inhale a cake faster than that before. It really was so good and tasted a bit like hot cocoa!

Beat until combined. On low speed, beat in Cool Whip just until combined. Scrape sides and bottom of the bowl and add marshmallows. Fold them in with a spatula until all incorporated.
- Unroll cake carefully. Carefully, spread frosting all over the cake, leaving about an inch and a half one of the short ends.
