Ingredients

4 large eggs

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

Zest of 1 lemon

1 cup fresh blueberries

1/4 cup lemon juice

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
    • Beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until thick and pale.
    • Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt, and gently fold them into the egg mixture, followed by the lemon zest.
    • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle fresh blueberries on top.
    • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched. Turn out onto a towel dusted with powdered sugar, then roll it up with the towel and let it cool.
  2. Prepare the Filling:
    • Unroll the cooled cake and drizzle with lemon juice.
    • Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
    • Spread the whipped cream evenly over the cake.
    • Gently re-roll the cake without the towel to form the roll.
  3. Chill and Serve:
    • Refrigerate the cake roll for at least an hour to set.
    • Before serving, dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh blueberries and lemon zest.

Notes

Berry Blend: Try using a mix of fresh berries like strawberries or raspberries for a twist on the flavor.

Lemon Curd: Add a layer of lemon curd along with the whipped cream inside the roll for an extra burst of lemon flavor.

Gluten-Free Version: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend to make the cake gluten-free.
