Many people would probably traditionally associate roulade cakes (or Jelly Rolls) with a visit to Grandmas house, and rolled cakes are abundant in horrible versions in supermarkets all across the world at discount prices.
I personally think this is a shame, because baked light and airy and served with a sauce from fresh berries it would just be wrong to archive it under ”old fashioned and boring”.

Roulade cakes actually do remind me of my grandma, she used to bake these all the time. I agree about horrible store bought versions. Lovely recipe!

Red Velvet and Coconut Layer cakes are what remind me of my Grandma. In the south layer cakes are a source of pride. I didn’t even know what a roulade was until I was in my twenties and then of course I had to make one! Delicious. Lucky is the person who has a Grandma who made this cake for them.

I do not see what size pan to use? Did I miss it? Looks delish.
