This roll is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I was able to balance it out by serving it with fresh berries.

I'm allergic to chocolate, but I was still able to enjoy this roll by using a dairy-free chocolate substitute.

The ganache was a bit too sweet for my taste, so I added a little bit of salt to balance it out.

I was skeptical about using zucchini in a chocolate cake, but I was pleasantly surprised. The zucchini added a nice moisture to the cake without making it too dense.
