Gingerbread Roulade Cake
The trick to rolling this sweet, spiced cake (without cracking it) is to do it while it’s still warm. Dust the cake with confectioners’ sugar, flip it over onto a large, clean kitchen towel and then peel the parchment away before gently rolling into a tight log. After the cake cools for 30 minutes you can unroll it and continue with the recipe.
