 Toby (British Columbia) says:
This cake is very light, tasty, waistline friendly, easy AND quick to assemble, as the eggs are not separated but beaten whole. I rolled the cooked cake lengthwise in a clean tea towel sprinkled with icing sugar forming a long log to finish cooling for an hour or so. Then I gently unrolled it & spread slightly sweetened fresh whipped cream across the surface before re-rolling it into a long log. Lastly I iced it with a mocha icing. The finished product was unbelievable. This is a great cake for those who must watch their cholesterol levels - there is no added butter, or margarine or oils!
