This is a very interesting swiss roll with sweet potato filling.  Your swiss roll is well rolled up - must be very nice too.

HI Cathy, what is the size of your tray using. Btw, what is the size of the oven using?..Sandy

Cathysjoy said...

Sandy,
My tray size is 11 x 14". My oven is 60 x 60cm.

Sandy said...

I think your tray is normal and standard one. Mine oven cannot fir this size, so I bought 9x11 tray, small lor...not easy to roll..any comment? Sandy

Cathysjoy said...

Sandy,
I thought it is supposed to be easier to roll if your cake is smaller?

Very interesting combination I have to say. Although both chocolate and sweet potatoes are my favorite, I've yet combined the two together. ....considering I have that book too, heehee.

Cathysjoy said...

HoneyBeeSweets,
Actually, the book uses yam fillings. I just changed it to sweet potato =)
