How to Make Lemon Cream Swiss Roll

Follow these steps to make your individual fluffy and refreshing Lemon Swiss Roll at your home:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line the inside of a 10×15-inch jelly roll tray using parchment to avoid sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Batter

A mixing bowl mixes in the eggs and sugar granulated to a consistency that becomes soft, pale, and has tripled in size.  This makes an airy and light sponge.

Step 3: Add Flavor and Dry Ingredients

Mix gently into lemon zest as well as lemon juice along with vanilla extract.  Separately, in a bowl mix the flour baking powder and baking soda along with salt.  As you work, mix the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, making sure that the batter does not deflate.

Step 4: Bake the Sponge Cake

Place the cake batter in the pan and spread it out evenly. Cook at least about 10 – 12 minutes, or till the cake has set and bounces back when lightly touched.

Step 5: Roll the Cake While Warm

After baking, flip the cake over onto a clean kitchen towel that has been sprayed with powdered sugar.  Take off the parchment paper, and then gently wrap it (with the towel) away from the shorter end.  It should cool completely.

Step 6: Make the Lemon Cream Filling

In a bowl large enough, mix with the thick cream with powdered sugar along with citrus juice until a soft peak forms.  If you like, mix in the lemon curd to add flavor.

Step 7: Assemble the Swiss Roll

Remove the sponge cake and place your lemon cream mixture evenly across the surface. Then gently roll it back with the towel.

Step 8: Chill and Serve

The Swiss roll in plastic, then refrigerate for at minimum 30-minutes in advance of serving.  Sprinkle with sprinkles of powdered sugar and cut into gorgeous spiraled slices. Enjoy!
