  1. Muy bueno. I did have a hard time with the sponge cracking when I rolled it then I remembered that in other rolled sponges I used to roll the hot sponge in the towel. Next time I will do that. I used Grand Marnier in the whipped cream and in the sponge instead of vanilla. Mine was cooked at about 10 minutes. Made for ZWT5 Spain/Portugal region for team Zaar Chow Hounds
