TO MAKE:
1.Take a cake tin that is round and about 9 inch/ 23 cm and grease it then line the bottom of the tin should be lined with a baking paper which is non stick.
2. Oven is to be preheated at 350F/180C/gas 4. The first 7 items are to be blended in an electric mixer.

6. Now make several chocolate scrolls by the following method;
with a palette knife spread chocolate and melted cake covering on the baking sheets evenly. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes till they are midway between firms and soft. Now place one chocolate-covered sheet over a cloth which is damp to keep the sheet in place, on the kitchen table. Push the blade of a palette or straight knife across the chocolate for making thin and long scrolls.
7. More chocolate scrolls are to be made on the other baking sheet, with the chocolate cake covering. The chocolate covering should be consistent, it should be neither soft nor hard since it cannot curl properly or can get brittle.
