• Melt the chocolate with the coffee until smooth and let cool. This can be done in a double boiler or in the microwave. Using the microwave, only do this a minute at a time.My microwave only takes a minute and half to melt the chocolate. It may not appear completely melted but once you stir it finishes melting. You don't want to burn the chocolate.

• Spread the filling over the cake leaving about a 1 inch border.
• Starting with the long side, roll up the cake jelly-roll style, lifting it with the wax paper and finishing with the seam side down.
• Just before I roll it to the end I move it to the platter then pull the last bit of wax paper out.
• Chill the roll covered loosely. Before serving, trim the ends and sprinkle with powdered sugar. You can also make this with the semi sweet then take the dark chocolate making another batch of the ganache. While it is in the thick pudding like state, pour it over the roll.
