Serve this cake chilled to keep the cheesecake filling firm and fresh. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. For a cleaner cut, use a serrated knife wiped clean between slices.
Variations:
Add a layer of fresh strawberries or raspberries before rolling for a fruity twist.
Use dark cocoa powder for a deeper, richer chocolate flavor.
Top with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of melted white chocolate for added flair.
Substitute mascarpone for cream cheese for a more delicate flavor.
FAQ:
Can I freeze the roll?
Yes, wrap the roll tightly and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
Why is powdered sugar used on the towel?
It prevents the cake from sticking to the towel during rolling and helps avoid tearing.
Can I use gel food coloring instead of liquid?
Yes, gel food coloring works well. Use a small amount and adjust for your preferred color intensity.
Do I need to let the cake cool completely before filling?
No, the cake should be warm but not hot. This allows it to roll easily and hold its shape without cracking.
