Judy, the cake needs to be rolled initially so that it cools and sets in the shape of the roll. If you tried to only roll it once after the cake cooled, it would be very delicate and possibly break. If you roll the cake when its warm from the oven, it's more pliable. We hope you give this recipe a try! Kye@KAF
