Description

A delightful dessert featuring a soft, fluffy cake with a rich and creamy lemon filling, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
  • Lemon slices or zest for decoration (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
  3. In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and pale. Add vegetable oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  4. Gently fold in the dry ingredients until smooth.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the top springs back when lightly touched.
  6. While the cake is still warm, invert it onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
  7. Roll the cake up tightly with the towel, starting from the short end. Let it cool completely.
  8. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
  9. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  10. Unroll the cooled cake and spread the lemon cream filling evenly over the surface. Re-roll the cake without the towel.
  11. Dust the cake roll with powdered sugar and decorate with lemon slices or zest. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
