Chocolate Swiss Roll With Heart Filling

By request from a fellow YouTuber, I've been creating more valentines day themed recipes~ This recipe only requires a flat pan and a heart shaped cookie cutter. My heart is unfortunately made out cake box mix. I was pretty stingy about using a whole pound of butter for pound cake. For those of you who don't realize it yet (it's okay, I didn't either until it was told to me) but pound cakes are pound cakes because they use a pound of butter. That's why they're so delicious. The cake box mix version was surprisingly delicious though. I used pound cake because it'll hold up better inside of a cake.
