I jazzed it up with using sugar free lemon gelatin in the cake batter. I used Splenda instead of sugar for both cake and filling. Added lemon zest to both also. Instead of the powder sugar I added a lemon flavored (1/4 tsp of lemon juice in place of vanilla)meringue to it and baked till light brown. Garnished it with lemon twist and spearmint leaves. Lovely presentation and I think the changes were very refreshing.

I don't know what it is with this recipe, nobody really like it. My family usually loves citrus flavored desserts but this wasn't a hit. Maybe I did something wrong when I left out 1/2 cup of sugar in the cake because I thought there was too much. The cake had a weird texture, spongy, but I guess it is supposed to be like that. The filling was good but it oozed everywhere and the cake was hard to roll up. Maybe it would have been better if there was some lemon flavor in it. Don't base my judgement on whether or not you should make this, just wasn't a hit.

This cake is awesome! It looks so pretty. It is light and tasty. I served it on Mother's Day for a nice Spring treat. Used parchment paper instead of waxed and it worked beautifully as it did not stick. Will make again and again.

Mine did not turn out all that well......I guess that the rolling was harder then I thought......*sigh*....still tasted good though...I will be trying again....

I took this to the county fair and got a first place with it. I added shredded white chocolate to the lemon before rolling it up and then topped the roll with the rest of the lemon filling and chocolate curls. Also added lemon peel to the lemon filling.
