Pro Tips
- Use whipped cream mixture as filling for the cake roll. Top with additional whipped cream when ready to serve.
- Eggs separate more easily when cold. Refrigerate yolks until ready to use. Let egg whites come to room temperature before whipping for best volume.
- You need to work quickly to remove cake from baking pan and rolling it up. Letting the cake cool will cause it to crack when you try to roll it up in the towel.
