Walnuts Cream Roll


If you like walnuts or the taste of a walnut cake, you would enjoy this cake.

It's light enough so you might not be able to stop just at one slice...well, unless you have a very strong will power. I don't really have that...not when it comes to desserts like this one...
I'll let you be the judge.

Happy baking!

Place remaining whipping cream into a cake piping bag and ornate  top of roll. 

Sprinkle with candied orange peels.  Cut into slices and enjoy!
