This butterscotch swiss roll is one of my favorite treats to make when I want something impressive but don't have all day in the kitchen. The whole thing comes together in just 45 minutes from start to finish, making it perfect for unexpected guests or a weekend dessert. I love using brown sugar in this recipe because it adds such wonderful depth of flavor, plus it contains molasses which has trace minerals like potassium and magnesium. The combination of buttery sponge cake with creamy butterscotch filling and those toasted hazelnuts on top is absolutely irresistible. Trust me, this one never lasts long at my house.
