10. Unroll cake and spread filling evenly.
11. Roll cake back tightly and place seam-side down.

Notes
Roll the cake while it is still warm to prevent cracking and ensure a smooth spiral.
Do not overbake the sponge as it can become dry and difficult to roll.
Allow ganache to cool slightly before spreading for the best texture and finish.
