Unlike a traditional layered cake, this roll offers a unique spiral presentation. The cake itself is thinner and baked to be flexible, allowing it to be rolled without cracking. The buttercream filling is incorporated within the roll, rather than being layered between cake slices, providing a different textural experience.
