    Luscious lemon just sounds good to say. Luscious lemon! Lemons are such a delight in many baked goods and is also added to savory dishes like chicken. Today, we used the plump lemons we had to make a delicious lemon cake roll.  The slight tartness 0f the lemon curd mixed with the sweet lemon cake is pretty amazing for dessert or just an afternoon snack with a cup of tea. Try this sometime with whatever drink you like and enjoy.

    Making the lemon cake roll:

    First, we start by putting parchment paper onto a 12" x 15" sheet pan. The parchment is very important. Then, spray the parchment with cooking spray.

    Next, we put all of the ingredients together; it just makes it a little easier if everything is ready (Trust us, we don't always do this, but it really is easier if you are prepared).

    Now, mix all the flour, baking powder, and salt together and set aside.

    In a mixing bowl, beat the egg till it is a nice lemon color (after all, we are making a lemon cake roll). They really look good when they start to get that yellow color.

    Now, it's time to add the sugar to that lemon colored egg mixture. Beat it more for about 3-4 minutes.

    Pour the cake mixture into a prepared pan.

    Have a tea towel ready with a little powdered sugar sifted on it. While still warm, turn the cake out on the towel and peel off the parchment paper. Roll the cake up, also while still warm. We have found that the cake seems to hold its shape better without cracking.

    Set the rolled cake wrapped in the towel onto a cake rack and let sit until completely cooled.

    Unwrap the cake so that it can be filled.

    Spread the slightly cooled lemon curd onto the unwrapped cake, keeping some room at the edges. This way, the lemon curd won't drip out of the cake.

    Roll the cake backup and place on a nice tray. Refrigerate so that it gets chilled.
