Grease a jelly roll baking sheet. Line with parchment

ingredients together. Beat eggs at high speed about 5
to 10 minutes. Add sugar by tablespoonfuls. Continue
beating until the butter is very thick. Then add lemon
juice and water. Fold in dry ingredients in four
stages, 1/4 cup at a time. Spread evenly on the baking
sheet. Bake at 375 F. for 15 minutes or until the
sponge springs back when tested. Sift powdered sugar
onto the sponge. Turn cake out onto a clean tea towel.
Remove parchment paper. Trim edges of the sponge if
they are crispy. Roll up gently, leaving towel
inside, while still warm. Let cool. Beat egg whites,
and when foamy add the cream of tartar. When soft
peaks form, gradually beat in the sugar. Beat until
meringue is stiff and glossy. Pipe meringue through a
pastry bag, making and equal number of stems and caps
to resemble small mushrooms. Bake mushroom pieces at
250 F. about 45 minutes. When cool, glue them
together with butter cream icing and dust lightly with
cocoa in a fine strainer. Beat egg yolks and butter
together until smooth. Add coffee and milk. Gradually
add powdered sugar. Beat until smooth. Mix about 1/3
cup to 1/2 cup of the frosting with green food
coloring for the ivy decoration. TO ASSEMBLE: Unroll
cooled sponge, remove towel, spread, cake with butter
cream icing. Roll up. Cut off at a diagonal, a 2"
slice. This is the tree stump. Frost the outside, then
add the stump and frost. Make ivy patterns. Add the
mushrooms. Dust the whole cake very lightly with
powdered sugar, to simulate snow. Keep in
refrigerator. Cut with serrated knife.
