Add more cream along the short edge of the cake which is to be rolled first. This will prevent the cake from cracking due to large gaps in between the folds.

Overbaking will make your cake dry and prone to cracking. However, under-baking your cake will also cause it to collapse as the cake will be wet and won't hold its shape properly.

Which flour is best for gluten free cakes? ›
