I made the cake portion of this recipe only. I just didn't have the time for making frosting from scratch! :) I've never made a roll-type cake before, and I wanted to impress my inlaws with something special during the holidays. I was surprised at how easy this cake was to make. The cake came out moist and light, and it rolled without cracking. I frosted the inner roll with a raspberry glaze and chocolate frosting. The outside was frosted with chocolate and dusted with powdered sugar. I even made little meringue mushrooms (dusted with cocoa powder) to garnish the log. No one believed that I actually made the log; everyone thought that it came from a professional bakery! And it tasted incredible, too. There were no leftovers whatsoever. This recipe will become a staple of my holiday events!

Fresh Herb Dinner Rolls

Reviewed: Jan. 21, 2007

I love this recipe! I made it for Thanksgiving, and everyone was impressed. There were no leftovers whatsoever. I doubled the amount of herbs listed on the recipe. I also have made it with whole wheat flour, and it came out great (although they were not as fluffy as with white flour). I've even made this recipe as two braided loaves instead of rolls. I gave one to a neighbor, and they raved about the taste and texture- and demanded the recipe. This recipe will remain in my cooking repertoire!
