Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla until thick and pale. Gently fold in flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Immediately invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off parchment paper. Roll the cake in the towel, starting from the short end. Let cool completely.
- In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice until stiff peaks form.
- Unroll the cake, spread the lemon cream evenly, then re-roll without the towel. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
