- Let the roll cool completely, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Make sure to whisk the eggs and sugar until they are light and fluffy for a better texture. Try using homemade caramel sauce for an extra touch of flavor. Ensure the cake is still warm when you roll it; this helps it maintain its shape.
