-While the cake is baking, set a clean kitchen towel out on a large work surface.
-Sprinkle liberally with powdered sugar .
-As soon as you remove the cake from the oven, turn it over on the kitchen towel sprinkled with powdered sugar. Remove foil gently.
-Working at the short end, fold the edge of the towel over the cake.
