Ingredients:

Cake Roll:
3 large eggs
1 ¾ cups Chocolate Cake Mix (Devil’s Food, like Betty Crocker SuperMoist)
⅓ cup water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for rolling)
Buttercream:
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup caramel sauce

Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
Roll the Cake: Once out of the oven, immediately flip the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off the parchment paper, then roll the cake up with the towel (starting from a short end). Let it cool completely.

Buttercream: Cream the butter until smooth. Add in the caramel sauce, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until light and fluffy.
Ganache: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy whipping cream until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips in a bowl. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
3. Assembling the Cake Roll:
Unroll the Cake: Gently unroll the cooled cake from the towel.
