15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, sprinkle a kitchen towel with confectioners’ sugar. Starting from a short end, roll up cake in the towel. Place seam side down on a wire rack to cool completely. Cut and reserve a narrow diagonal slice from each end of the cake.

Attach diagonal cake slices with a little of the chocolate frosting to opposite sides of cake. With remaining chocolate frosting, frost the top and side of the cake. With the tines of a fork, make strokes in the frosting to resemble bark on a tree trunk. For the mushrooms, half large marshmallows widthwise for mushroom caps.
