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, about 5 minutes.
- Sift flour, baking powder, and salt over the egg mixture. Gently fold until just combined.
- Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Immediately invert cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off parchment paper.
- Roll cake and towel together from the short end. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a medium bowl, whip cream, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice until stiff peaks form.
- Unroll cake and spread lemon cream evenly over the surface. Roll cake back up without the towel.
- Chill for at least 1 hour before serving. Dust with additional powdered sugar if desired.
