No Fancy Ingredients or Special Tools Needed – Anyone Can Make This Chocolate Roll

This recipe shows how to make a chocolate roll using simple ingredients and no special tools. The chocolate sponge is made with flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, salt, boiling water, vegetable oil, eggs, and sugar, baked at 350°F for about 12 minutes in a 16x15 inch tray. While still hot, the sponge is rolled to form a base for the ganache. The ganache is prepared by melting 7 oz of dark chocolate with 1¼ cups of heavy cream, using a 1:1.5 chocolate‑to‑cream ratio for a silky spread. The roll is then cooled and sliced.
