🍋 Lemon Cream Swiss Roll 🍋

"Roll Into Refreshment with Every Slice!"

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, plus extra for dusting

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until thick and lemon-colored. Gradually add granulated sugar, beating until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Mix in vanilla extract.
4. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
7. As the cake bakes, prepare a clean kitchen towel by dusting it with powdered sugar.
8. Immediately after baking, invert the cake onto the sugared towel, remove the parchment paper, and roll the cake up in the towel starting from the short end. Let it cool completely.
9. In a separate bowl, whip together heavy cream, powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and lemon extract until stiff peaks form.
10. Once the cake is cooled, unroll it and spread the lemon cream evenly over the surface. Re-roll the cake without the towel and place it on a serving platter. Dust with additional powdered sugar.
11. Slice, serve, and savor the zesty lemon flavor.
