Chocolate Cake Roll with Chocolate Cream Filling - Rocambole de Chocolate
"The word rocambole has several different meanings. In France, it is the name of a 19th century fictional adventurer, a do-gooder who was often in trouble with the law. Rocambole is also, weirdly, the name for a variety of "hardneck" garlic. And in Brazil, rocambole is a cake roll - one of those swiss roll cakes with a rich creamy filling (often called a pionono in other parts of South America) - obviously the best meaning for this word! This cake is fun to make and always a hit. The cake itself is a sponge cake, which makes it easier to roll up. The cake is soaked with coffee syrup and then filled with a rich chocolate ganache. This is an intensely rich cake, perfect for a birthday or other special occasion. In Brazil, it seems to be a popular choice for Father's Day (Dia dos Pais)...."
