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 cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 3 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 light and fluffy.
- Sift in flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold until just combined.
- Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake springs back when touched.
- While warm, carefully roll the cake (with parchment) into a log and let cool completely.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice until stiff peaks form.
- Unroll the cooled cake, spread the lemon cream evenly, then re-roll without the parchment.
- Chill for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
