Vegan Mocha Roll Cake
I feel like my Birthday crept up on me this year.There has been so much crazy stuff going on, and so many changes, including my kitchen remodel that just wrapped up a couple weeks back (thank goodness) that I forget what month we are in. But I still decided to make a birthday cake this year and give the new oven a go baking a larger cake. My old oven was a little touchy and sometimes would malfunction, but this one seems to work great and I am grateful to be able to use it from now on. I baked a mug cake with sprinkles last Friday, but that was my test cake before the Birthday cake, so this one was the first full sized one I have made.This year I decided to make a roll cake.
This past year has pretty been the year of the roll cakes for me, I have fallen in love with them.Funny, because I used to be so intimidated by them in the past and now I find them easier and faster to make than a traditional layer cake. I wanted something with coffee, so I made a mocha cake this time! Chocolate and coffee are a match made in heaven after all! For the cake portion, I like to use my date sweetened cakes for the roll cake, because they are a bit more forgiving and pliable. Plus I just like date sweetened cakes in general. The dates give the cake a slight caramel flavor, similar to how brown sugar would.I just added some of my favorit
