For an enhanced flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of coffee liqueur to the whipped cream filling.
Ensure the egg whites are whipped to stiff peaks for a light and airy cake.
When rolling the cake, be gentle to avoid cracking. If cracks do appear, don't worry, the frosting will cover them!
Chill the cake thoroughly before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set properly.
