Poppyseed Almond Cake with Almond Cocoa Cream Filling Topped with Chocolate Ganache

Who doesn't love a good roll cake? Creamy goodness wrapped up in a sweet light cake and covered with chocolatey goodness?

I used to make rolls cakes all the time in college. My friends loved them and requested them constantly.

I recently pulled together a few flavors that I love to make a sweet cake roll delight for my family. It was a PoppySeed Almond Cake Roll with Almond Cocoa Cream Filling and topped with Easy Chocolate Ganache.

To make the Almond Cocoa Cream Filling I used Once Again Organic Amore Almond Spread with Milk Chocolate and mixed with whipped topping.

Once Again Organic Amore Almond Spread with Milk Chocolate 

I love all the things from Once Again LOL! Their cute raccoon mascot is not the only reason. I've reviewed them several times in the past and I do appreciate the fact that their items are soy free. I can enjoy a yummy chocolate almond spread without fear of soy! (they are also Gluten Free).

Once Again Organic Amore Almond Spread with Milk Chocolate is a healthier option than other dessert butters. The ingredients are Certified Organic, made with no artificial flavors, colors, or hydrogenated oils. Are non-GMO Project Verified, Gluten Free Certified, and Fair Trade Certified.

#MomsMeet sent us a 12 ounce jar of Once Again Organic Amore Almond Spread with Milk Chocolate along with a cute lunchbox full of several other Once Again brand delicious nut and seed butters!

I do little jumps of joy whenever I find a, new to me, soy-free product that I can enjoy without fear of an allergic reaction. You might say it's only dessert but what is life without chocolate? Hmm? I ask you.

I was ready to dive in. When I opened the jar of Once Again Amore Spread what I really wanted to do was to just dollop the smooth chocolatey Almond dessert butter on some ice cream but I decided to push myself a bit and pulled together some flavors for delicious roll cake or roulade.

Roll cakes are really easy to make but make an impressive appearance.

Back when I was in college I used to make roll cakes all the time. I would fill my roll cakes with a nut butters mixed with whipped cream. Not sure where I got the idea but that's what I did and they were delicious!

For this roll cake I decided to mix the Once Again Amore Spread with Cool Whip for an easy filling. You could also used whipped cream instead.
