Directions
- Beat together all of the ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed about 1 ½ minutes, or until well mixed.

- Line a 15 ½-by-10 ½-by 1-inch baking pan with waxed paper, aluminum foil, or parchment paper. Grease well. Pour the batter into pan, spreading to the corners. Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and immediately turn onto a towel sprinkled with powdered sugar. Remove paper or foil. Roll cake and towel together, starting on short side. Cool completely on wire rack.
- When the cake has cooled completely, unroll it and spread the lemon filling over the top. Reroll it and sprinkle the lemon roll with powdered sugar for serving. Serve immediately.
