- Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture.

- Bake the cake in the oven until puffed in the middle, about 7 minutes.
- Gently run a knife along the edge of the cake.
- Carefully turn the cake onto the edge of the dusted kitchen towel.
- Gently roll the cake into the towel and allow to cool completely at room temperature.
- As the cake is cooling, make the filling.
- In a medium bowl, beat the 4 tablespoons butter, cream cheese, and ¾ cup Swerve until well mixed.
- Stir the vanilla and ⅛ teaspoon of salt into the filling.
- Gently unroll the cake and spread with the filling, leaving a ½-inch border around the cake.
- Reroll the cake, cover, and place in the refrigerator while you make the glaze.
- Place the chopped dark bar and heavy cream in a medium heat-proof bowl, then microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted.
- Place the glaze in the refrigerator to chill until firm, about 1 hour.
- Remove the cake from the refrigerator and spread with the chilled glaze.
- Return to the refrigerator to chill fully, for 1 hour more.
- Slice the cake, removing the ends, if desired and enjoy!
