I used to have trouble with my cake cracking until I tried this trick. I wrap an empty cardboard tube from paper towels with wax paper. I place it at the end of the short side of the cake where I will begin rolling. I then roll the cake around the cardboard tube. It supports the cake so that it doesn't crack.

After following to a "t", my cake crack, crack, cracked w/every roll I made. I WILL conquer thsis& then it'll get a 5 star rating. The cake is great, the instructions easy to follow. I just can't get it to roll without breaking. I ended up making a trifle w/it, using a pumpkin mousse recipe from Taste of Home. Fabulous!!

I loved this recipe...follwed it exactly. Yum! I only gave it 4 stars JUST because I think 1 cup of walnuts is waaaay too much unless you just want to eat walnuts. I only used 1/3 of a cup and I thought, "Oh, this will be good." It wasn't until I rolled it up that I realized now all the walnuts are clustered together in the roll! There are just too many walnuts in every bite. Definitely love the recipe though!

I didn't have wax paper, so I used parchment paper and greased it with butter. Still worked great. Used lots of icing sugar on the dish towel. My nieces and nephews loved it!

This did not turn out well at all. The cake ended up very dense and chewy.

I have been using this recipes for many years, and I am always asked for the recipe. The easiest way to turn out your roll is to first line your pan with wax or parchment paper, 2nd spray your paper with baking Pam ( the one with flour & oil mixed) cook till cake springs back , turn out onto linen towel covered with confectioner sugar, prior to rolling the cake sprinkle confectioner sugar on top of the cake and than roll, it will unroll with no problem.
