Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, beat 5 large eggs with 0.5 cup sugar until the mixture is fluffy and light in color. This process should significantly increase the volume of the egg mixture.
Once ready, add 2 drops of yellow food coloring to the egg mixture to achieve a delightful color.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, mix together 0.8 cup all-purpose flour and 0.5 teaspoon baking powder. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the egg mixture using a silicone spatula, making sure to incorporate the ingredients gently from bottom to top.
Step 3
Set aside a few tablespoons of the batter in another bowl. To this, add 0.25 cup vegetable oil and 2 tablespoons milk, stirring until well combined.
Next, mix in 1 tablespoon lemon juice and the zest of 1 lemon before folding this mixture back into the main batter using the silicone spatula.
Step 4
Pour the prepared batter onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper, smoothing it out evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 320°F (160°C) for 25 minutes. Use a baking tray size of 12 x 16 inches (30 x 40 cm).
Step 5
Once baked, carefully remove the biscuit from the tray and transfer it to a clean towel. Gently peel off the parchment paper and flip the biscuit over so the top is facing up.
While it is still warm, roll up the biscuit with the towel, allowing it to cool for 30-40 minutes.
Step 6
In a mixing bowl, combine 1.25 cups cottage cheese, 0.5 cup heavy cream, and 1/3 cup powdered sugar. Whip this mixture with a mixer until it reaches a smooth and fluffy consistency.
Transfer the cream into a piping bag for easy application later.
Step 7
Once the biscuit has cooled, pipe the cream onto the surface in thin stripes and spread it evenly.
Carefully roll the biscuit tightly, using the towel to assist you if necessary.
Step 8
Place the rolled biscuit into the refrigerator for a few hours to set properly. This step is crucial for stabilization.
Step 9
After chilling, trim the edges of the roll to reveal a neat slice before serving.
Enjoy your delicious lemon biscuit roll, perfect for any occasion!
Servings
Once your lemon roll cake is ready, the fun really begins! 🎉 Consider slicing it into generous pieces and serving on a festive platter. To elevate the presentation, dust each slice with powdered sugar for that elegant touch. 🍋✨
Why not pair it with some fresh berries? Juicy strawberries or blueberries make the perfect complement to the zesty lemon flavor. You can even serve it alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast!
Feel free to get creative—drizzle a tangy lemon glaze over the top, or fold in some whipped cream into your filling for an extra creamy delight. Your guests will absolutely love the fresh twist!

Variations
If you're looking for a twist on this classic recipe, here are two variations that are sure to please! 🌱✨
For a gluten-free option, substitute regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Make sure to select one with xanthan gum for the best structure. Your cake will be just as fluffy and delightful!
If you're interested in a vegan version, replace the eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water (1 tbsp flaxseed + 2.5 tbsp water = 1 egg), and use plant-based milk and oil. You're in for a surprise with this fab twist on flavor!
Faq
- How can I make the cake fluffier?
Make sure to whip the eggs until they triple in volume. Incorporating air is key to a fluffy texture!
- Can I use another flavor besides lemon?
Absolutely! Try orange or even chocolate. Just adjust the zest and juice accordingly!
- What can I do if my cake cracks?
Don’t worry! A little cracking is normal. You can always cover it up with the cream frosting or a glaze.
- How long should I let the cake cool before rolling it?
Let it cool just long enough to be touchable—about 30-40 minutes works well. It needs to be warm enough to roll without breaking!
- What’s the best way to store leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. It tastes great chilled!
- Can I freeze the lemon roll cake?
Yes, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before freezing. Thaw it in the fridge for best results!
