  • Transfer mixture into prepared pan, spread it using a spatula. Bake for 15-16 minutes until done, but still soft.

  • When cake is finished baking, take it out of the oven and quickly turn it over the kitchen towel, sprinkled with powdered sugar.
  • Starting at the short end, roll the cake with the towel. Let it cool completely for a few hours.

Frosting:

  • While cake is cooling, make the frosting.
