Frequently Asked Questions
What can I substitute for butter in this recipe?
You can substitute the butter with an equal amount of margarine or coconut oil for a dairy-free option. Just keep in mind that using different fats may slightly alter the flavor and texture.
How should I store leftover coffee and walnut roll?
Store any leftover roll in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to 2 months; just ensure it's well-wrapped to prevent freezer burn.
What should I do if my roll cracks while baking?
If the roll cracks, it's usually a sign that the batter was overmixed or the oven temperature was too high. To prevent cracking, mix the batter gently when incorporating the egg whites and ensure your oven is properly calibrated before baking.
