Description

A light and refreshing cake filled with creamy lemon goodness, perfect for spring and summer celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your jelly roll pan by greasing it lightly and lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Beat the eggs and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add the lemon juice and melted butter, mixing until combined.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Fold the dry mixture into the egg mixture gently until no dry streaks remain.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden.
  7. Dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar while the cake bakes.
  8. Invert the cake onto the prepared towel, peel away the parchment paper, and roll it up gently while it’s warm. Allow it to cool completely.
  9. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, then fold in the lemon zest.
  10. Unroll the cooled cake and spread the lemon cream filling evenly over its surface.
  11. Roll the cake up again without the towel, forming a log.
  12. Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice to create the glaze and drizzle it over the cake.
  13. Slice and serve your Lemon Cream Roll Cake.

Notes

Make-ahead: Prepare the cake a day in advance and store it rolled in the refrigerator.
