Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs (at room temperature)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (divided use)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest (for flavor)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- ¾ cup cake flour (sifted)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream (for consistency)
- ¼ cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs on high speed for about 5 minutes until pale and thick. Gradually add half of the granulated sugar.
- Gently fold in the fresh lemon juice and zest into the egg mixture.
- Sift the cake flour, baking powder, and salt over the egg mixture, then fold until no dry flour streaks remain.
- Spread the batter evenly in the lined pan and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the top springs back when lightly touched.
- Immediately invert the hot cake onto a kitchen towel sprinkled with powdered sugar. Roll the cake tightly with the towel and let it cool.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, unsalted butter, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Unroll the cooled cake, spread the cream filling evenly, and reroll the cake without the towel.
- Chill the rolled cake seam-side down in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before slicing.
- Optional: Dust the finished roll with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh lemons for the best flavor.
- Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for better volume.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
