I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake roll didn't turn out anything like the pictures. It was a complete disaster.

This recipe is missing some key ingredients. I had to add flour and baking powder to get the cake batter to come together.

I had some trouble getting the cake roll to roll up without cracking. I think I needed to let it cool for a bit longer before rolling it.
