Detailed Directions and Instructions
Prepare the Baking Equipment
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
Mix the Egg and Sugar Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
Add Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the egg mixture, folding gently to combine.
Incorporate Lemon Ingredients
Stir in the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest until just combined.
Prepare to Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake the Cake
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake is springy to the touch and lightly golden.
Prepare the Cooling Towel
While the cake is baking, lay a clean kitchen towel on a flat surface and dust it generously with powdered sugar.
Invert and Roll the Cake
Once the cake is baked, carefully invert it onto the towel, peel off the parchment paper, and roll the cake up in the towel, starting from the short end. Let it cool completely.
Make the Cream Filling
In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.
Spread the Filling and Roll the Cake
Once the cake is completely cool, unroll it gently and spread the cream filling evenly over the surface. Roll the cake back up (without the towel).
Dust and Serve
Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
