  Place a clean kitchen towel over a table. Sprinkle some powdered sugar on it and place the hot cake over the towel. Remove the tray and the wax paper or aluminum foil. Roll the cake carefully along with the kitchen towel, starting with the narrowest part. Let the cake cool down for about 10 minutes. Leave the cake in the refrigerator, still rolled in the towel, for 30 minutes.

  Unroll the cake slowly. Spread 3/4 cup strawberry jam over the cake. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup grated coconut. Roll the cake again but without the kitchen towel. Place the cake on a dish to serve it. Cover the cake with the remaining jam and grated coconut. Cut the cake into 1” slices. Serve with a big glass of milk.
