Mini chocolate-rice roll

Received good reviews when I made this Chocolate roll. My kids and Sister-in-law enjoyed it. And in fact, I'd burnt the bottom layer of the cake! Seemed easy recipe but kinda of 'petty' cake as well, need much care and attention. To settle the chao tar bottom, I scraped it away as I do not wish to waste it.

  • 3 egg (separated
  • 50g sugar 
  • ½ tsp chocolate paste
