Cake Rolls are rolls made with leftover cake crumbs and a binding agent like ganache , cream , jam or even condensed milk . These rolls are moist and give the look of a Swiss roll .
While baking cakes many a times I bake a little extra , I love to make crumbs from the cake and use them for desserts . You could use them in trifles , in parafits, make a crust for a pudding at times just add them in some shakes , oh there are umpteen ways to use these crumbs .I have used these crumbs to make a Sushi also. This time I have used them to make these rolls .
These cake rolls are very simple and taste absolutely fantastic . I have added ganache to the chocolate crumbs and whipped cream to the vanilla crumbs to bring them together and bind into a semi soft dough . One has to be careful while you roll the two layers , make sure you do not have any cracks in the roll . Placing them in the frig overnight gives them the firmness that we need for slicing them . Go ahead try these and you sure are to love them .
These Cake Rolls are my Day 12 post for Bakeathon .

That is such an easy recipe to make cake rolls. I’ve tried swiss roll cake before and it is quite difficult to get it to look nice and neat. So this version with cake crumbs and ganache sounds so much easier. Looks absolutely delicious.
