I come from a big Italian family where my mom cooked and baked many delicious meals and desserts from scratch. Now I like to do the same for my family. This cake is my finale to our Italian Christmas Eve dinner. -Cathy Banks, Encinitas, California

The cake roll was a bit dry, but the filling was delicious. I would make it again, but I would try a different recipe for the cake.

This cake roll was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The cake was light and fluffy, and the filling was creamy and tangy. I would make it again, but I would use less sugar next time.
