I had cut this recipe out of Taste of Home. I'm glad I didn't read the on-line reviews before I made it. There were complaints about the cake falling apart and the filling being soupy and grainy. Well, my cake rolled up perfectly and the filling was creamy, rich and delicious. It was a little runny, so you would do well to refrigerate it while the cake is baking and cooling. I made this for dessert the night before my daughter's wedding. It was delicious and was enjoyed by everyone who tasted it.
