Use a shallow tray and spread the batter evenly: a roll needs a thin, flexible sheet, not a deep birthday-cake sponge. The course reference describes a 24 × 30 cm tray for its Swiss-roll version.

These chats also refer to a partly filled tray and 3 mm batter thickness. That specific demonstration needs checking against the current PDF before assigning an exact batter weight to your tray. Don't force the full batch into a smaller tray and expect the same result.
