I'm not one that usually writes a review, unless it exceptionally good, and this one was one of the few that I consider exceptionally good...super easy to make, and very delicious, I made one yesterday and shared it with a couple of my son's teacher's, It was so good I had to make us another one. Definitely worth a 5 star... thanks for sharing the recipe. Wendy M.
Yes I wrapped it in wax paper the first one that I made and it was pretty slippery from the butter, the second one I made like the recipe said and I wrapped it in a thin kitchen towel, turned out much better.
This was super easy, fun, and delicious. I did not use a towel to roll the cake. Instead simply rolled the cake with the parchment I baked it on. This worked beautifully.
I was always afraid to attempt this....finally tried it, super easy....one of the reviews said to use a lot of powdered sugar when you roll up the roll to cool.... definitely prevents sticking!!!
I've been making this for years. Awesone recipe
Followed recipe to rhe tee.
A friend of mine gave me this receipe many years ago and from the first batch I knew there was a huge difference. The difference was in the butter vs margarine taste. Land O' Lakes is our favorite butter for baking, cooking and spreading. My home of six (6) only eats butter and we can taste the difference between a good butter (yours) and a not so good one. Keep serving us delicious tasting butter. Thank you! The Kelley's from Maryland
