Cotton cake roll

Overview

Cake Queen Yanse’s recipe, her Japanese cotton cake roll is a classic recipe that she highly recommends. When I use other methods to make cake rolls, I always go back and forth between failure and success. It is common for the cake rolls to crack and fail to roll up. Only this cake roll recipe is perfect. It's a classic and worth a try.
