A brief history of the roll cake

The roll cake, a classic dessert, was created long ago and quickly became popular due to its versatility. It can be filled with various creams and flavors, from chocolate to fruits, allowing cooks to express their creativity. This roll cake recipe is a modern interpretation of a traditional dessert, perfect for celebrating special moments in our lives.

Preparing the Roll Cake

1. Preparing the mold
Start by lining a springform pan with plastic wrap. This step is essential to ensure easy removal of the cake once it has cooled. The wrap will help maintain the shape and facilitate cleaning.

2. Assembling the roll
On the bottom of the pan, place an even layer of roll slices. Then, on the sides of the pan, place another layer of roll slices, making sure everything is well covered. This will not only give the cake a beautiful appearance but will also add extra texture. Once finished, refrigerate the pan for about 30 minutes to allow the roll to set.

3. Preparing the pudding
In a bowl, add the two packets of vanilla pudding and 1 liter of milk. Follow the instructions on the package to prepare the pudding. Mix well, and when the pudding begins to thicken, remove it from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.

4. Preparing the whipped cream
In another bowl, prepare the whipped cream according to the instructions on the packet, adding 150 ml of milk and the stabilizer for whipped cream. Whip the mixture with a mixer until you achieve a fluffy and firm whipped cream. It is important to use cold cream for the best results.

5. Assembling the cake
Once the pudding has completely cooled, carefully pour it into the pan over the layer of roll. Use a spatula to evenly distribute the pudding. Then, add the whipped cream on top, leveling it off for a smooth surface.

6. Decorating the cake
You can decorate the cake with chocolate hearts made from milk chocolate. Melt 1-2 bars of chocolate, pour them into a heart-shaped cookie mold, and let them cool. Carefully place them on top of the cake, along with grated chocolate for an impressive visual effect.

7. Final cooling
Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set well and allow the flavors to meld. This step is essential to achieve the perfect texture.

Helpful tips:
- If you prefer a more intense flavor, you can add a few drops of vanilla extract to the pudding.
- Experiment with different types of rolls. A chocolate roll will add a decadent touch to this cake.
