Cakes have been rolled up in American kitchens with fillings like jelly, jam, frostings and whipped cream since at least the mid-1800s, when a rolled cake first appeared in a published recipe book. Seal it with beautiful, shiny Chocolate Ganache covering and serve it as the ultimate sweet gift.

Chocolate Swiss roll: 420 degrees ( I even knocked off5 degrees) for 10 1/2 minutes in my upper oven, bottom shelf, when the smoke began pouring out…… got me a totally burnt on the bottom chocolate cake roll. All that work, time and expense of electricity for oven, ingredients plus for an unusable burnt cake. I’ve been baking for over 60 years. Check your temp and time again. Bet you’ll burn your cake/ roll too.
Hi Marge, We are so sorry you had this experience with the Chocolate Swiss Roll recipe. We've forwarded this information on to The Kitchen to check the recipe temp and time. We've also forwarded your information on to our Consumer Affairs Department. Someone will be reaching out.
I am looking for a chocolate cake recipe from 1960s. It started/creaming brown sugar and butter, was absolutely the best chocolate cake I have ever made. I am 85 been baking since I was ten.
Hi Nell, We LOVE hearing from loyal Swans Down users. Both our Chocolate Fudge Cake and Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake have similar directions that start with incorporating the sugars with the butter. Both are long time favorites. Let us know if it's one of these. Happy baking!
You didn’t complete the instructions for Swiss roll cake.
