In reply to Perton. Hi Perton! I haven't had success with anything else. You could potentially use parchment paper, but it could stick. :(

Is there anything I can substitute the towel for?

It went pretty good for a first try. It tasted good, but I filled it with cream cheese frosting.

This was the third Swiss cake roll recipe I tried, and I finally had zero cracks in my cake! Your recipe was super easy to follow along with and it felt great to finally succeed! Thank you : )

In reply to Nicole. I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much, Nicole! I do not have a white swiss roll recipe. I don't know if I have ever made one. :(

In reply to Kathy. Thank you so much for trusting my recipes, Kathy! I haven't tried doing a triple batch. You do need to be careful when folding the egg whites in so it may be better to do separate batches to minimize the mixing of those egg whites. :)

You are my go to for most recipes!
They are the best!
I’m going to be making 3 Swiss rolls. Can I triple the ingredients or should I do them separately?
Thank You

In reply to Sam. How serendipitous, Sam! I just watched an episode of Holiday Baking Championship that I'd recorded several weeks ago, in which the bakers were tasked with making Buche de Noels, in various styles. Some of them were magnificent, others...not so much. And the flavor combos they used...oh my! My brain ran amok with ideas for my own Buche de Noel - all I needed was a 5☆ recipe for the Swiss Roll- & here you are, the very next day! I'ma make the recipe as written the 1st time, with the exception of adding some espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor. But after that.....it's gonna be an experimentation party . Here's hoping my neighbors don't get "rolled" out!

In reply to Emily @ Sugar Spun Run. I just made it into a Yule log, and it was perfect!

I made this cake as a Yule Log, but I filled it with the peanut butter fudge frosting from your peanut butter sheet cake recipe. Decadent and delicious! Everyone loved it! I wish I could post a picture.

I found the instructions to be excellent. My cake turned out beautifully. However I did try making the Ermine filling and it didn’t look right at all so I ended up using store bought vanilla frosting. I didn’t really like the taste of the cake or the chocolate frosting. Not sure what went wrong with ermine filling.

In reply to Sam.

Thank you so much 🙂 I’ll follow the recipe exactly then – hopefully 3 cups of frosting is not too much or too little for the swiss roll. Thank you again for all your great recipes and videos. I have found a new hobby of mine thanks to you.

In reply to Natalie. I'm so glad you've enjoyed everything so much, Natalie! If you make the ermine frosting recipe you will be good to go! :)

I’ve been baking many of your recipes and enjoying it a lot – all so great even for a beginner like me 🙂 Now I’m excited to try this. Can I know how much is exactly a batch of frosting? Your Ermine frosting recipe is for 3 cups of icing. Would that be a batch?

In reply to Kim. Hi Kim! It should be showing up about the ingredients. Make sure you don’t have an ad blocker enabled or it will block the video too. If it’s still not showing up we do have our videos on YouTube as well.

Hi Miriam
If you or anyone else was able to find the video on the Swiss Roll & or the Ermine frosting could you let me know how & where? I’ve been looking all over the site for it….thank you Kim

In reply to Miriam. Hi Miriam! Increasing the recipe by 50% should do it

In reply to Emily @ Sugar Spun Run. Great! Thanks. One more question, if I wanted to make this in a 17 by 12 pan, would I need to double the recipe or just do 1 and 1/2 recipe?

In reply to Miriam. Yes! Enjoy

Do you think this could be made into a yule log?
