This spongy Lemon Cake Roll is packed full of fresh lemon flavor and it’s filled with a luscious lemony cream cheese/whipped cream filling! It’s the perfect dessert to make when you’re in the Spring mood and it also looks elegant and impressive!
Today’s 70-degree weather here in Kentucky has put me in the Spring mood. And when I’m thinking Spring, I’m thinking lemons! I actually posted this recipe a few years back, but it’s been in need of some updated pictures and I was in the mood to make it, so here we have it, a spongy Lemon Cake Roll with a lemony cream cheese-whipped cream filling.
Some people feel intimidated by the thought of making a cake roll, however, cake rolls really are easy to make and the end result is an impressively elegant looking spongy cake roll that is equally delicious!
MAKING THE CAKE
Advertisement:The cake is a sponge cake. It’s made with cake flour, resulting in a light and airy texture, (spongy), and it has just enough baking powder to make it rise perfectly but not too much. The cake gets baked in a jelly roll pan, allowing it to be thin enough for rolling, yet thick enough to be spongy and light.
