This week Tanya's recipe at sconesplusmore.com is Chocolate Roulade. This delicious, indulgent dessert is easy to make and will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge. It also freezes beautifully so can be prepared in advance, and is #glutenfree. Delicious by itself but even better served with #raspberries and a #raspberrycoulis. Tanya also shows you how to make the #coulis.
