Sprinkle a dish towel with powdered sugar.*Alternatively you can skip this step and simply roll up the sponge cake in the parchment paper it was baked in. Spread the cake batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until the top of the cake springs back when touched.
Roll up the cake and towel together, starting with the narrow end.It’s important to work quickly once the cake comes out of the oven. You want to get it rolled while it’s still hot to prevent any cracking. Cool on a wire rack.
Cream Cheese Frosting
Whip cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter and vanilla extract in small mixer bowl until smooth.
Carefully unroll the cake; remove the towel and spread the cream cheese frosting over the cake
Re-roll the cake, then wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour, over night is best.
