devochka, from reading Nana's recipe for the Angelique, it appears to be what I would call a "jelly roll" or "swiss jelly roll" and I think it would look something like this (except I think this photo has powdered sugar on the outside of the cake and not coconut flakes):


These "roll cakes" can be made in a number of ways. I remember my mom making them with the before discussed "whipped cream" and fresh strawberries and it looked like this one... except my mom would cover the entire outside with the whipped cream!!!


If you notice the difference between the thickness of the two cakes.... the first one is thinner than the second and I think that is how my Nana's is supposed to be as she said it is "delicate" and it is a "jelly" filled one and not a cream filled.

When rolling the cake, follow the directions about using the towel to roll the cake. You use the towel to not only help you controll rolling the cake, but it will also help take the moisture out of the cake.

Here is a link about how to make and roll a jelly cake and it has photos:

That reminds me, strawberry season starts in late May/early June here... we will have to go pick some strawberries! This is the place we go to pick fruit that is not too far from us.
