I use a convenient boxed cake mix to shave minutes off the prep time of this dessert. It gets a homemade tough from a yummy vanilla layer and from-scratch frosting.—Linda Hartsell, Apple Creek, Ohio

My kids love this cake! They call it Swiss Roll Cake. I want to try a vanilla version of it.

We apoligize for a slight omission in the method. The cooked flour mixture should be added to the butter and shortening mixture, then beat until fluffy, about 4 minutes.

This error will be corrected on the recipe shown here soon.
