And again about the biscuit, and again about the rolls !! Today I have a roll of chocolate sponge cake with chocolate cream. True, as such, there is no chocolate in it, only cocoa, and, of course, Christmas trees. Still, wondering what to cook for the new year 2021? Photo recipes will always come in handy.
