This recipe is also great as a roll cake. Instead of muffin pans, pour into a greased & floured 1/4 sheet jelly roll pan and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in pan for about 10 minutes, then sprinkle the top with powdered sugar. Turn upside down onto parchment paper, sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar and roll gently from the short side. Double the icing recipe. Once roll is cooled completely, unroll, spread icing, and re-roll. Slice & serve.
