  1. This is a horrible, horrible recipe. I knew putting any liquid into egg whites will not make peaks. Peaks are made by whipping the egg whites & adding sugar, but not necessary. Stupidly I followed this horrible recipe. She was advised that the recipe was WRONG, but did not fix it. Didn’t find this out until after I read the comments. If you are going to post a recipe make sure it is right or don’t post it. Also at 180 for 15 minutes didn’t even bake all the way. I’ve learned a very valuable expensive lesson, stick to the recipes you know that are good, this one is not. Take this recipe down or fix it.

  2. Hi, I follow accordingly to the ingredients. It turned out perfect but ); when I rolled the cake, it cracked all over. Please advise where gone wrong.

    • I have found if I bake it a bit less and let is sit on the cookie sheet for 2-4 minutes after out of the oven before rolling it is less likely to crack. Best wishes & happy baking.

    • If you use plain flour (all purpose flour) then it will be a bit more dense because it’s higher in protein than cake flour. You can make a cake flour substitute by taking a 1/2 cup plain flour, remove 2 tbsp. from it and add 2 tbsp. of ‘corn starch’- in some countries its also labelled as corn flour, both should be completely white and smooth, resembling any white flour. Hope this helps!

    • Hi I reread the list of ingredients and I believe the author meant to say two teaspoons of milk then two teaspoons of oil. Took me a minute to figure it out, but it worked! Hope that helped.
