Yam Swiss Roll

It's a challenge to make a swiss roll.First if the swiss roll is over baking then it will end up not easy to roll.Second,if the swiss roll is too dry it might turn out not soft(Not enough water or oil).Third,if the swiss roll is under baked(like mine)it will not presentable.It is also very important to adjust the right oven temperature and baking time for swiss roll.Another problem is the egg whites won't beat correctly if the sugar is added at the beginning.Adding it gradually, at the soft peak stage, so that you don't break down the "fluff" of the peaks.
