• Get another piece of baking sheet that is bigger than the sponge.
• Lay it flat on a table and sprinkle over the icing sugar.
• Then carefully turn out the sponge on to the sheet, peeling off the original baking sheet piece.
• Tip: Cover with the damp cloth for 5-10 minutes (this will make it easier to roll later!).

• Whilst the sponge is cooling whisk your cream until thick and then fold in the lemon curd.
• Unwrap the sponge and add the filling, then re roll again without the baking sheet.
• Dust the with more icing sugar and garnish with some of the lemon and lime zest.

LEMON ROULADE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 10- by 15-inch jellyroll pan. Line pan with wax paper or baking parchment, allowing paper to overhang pan ends slightly. Grease paper or spray with nonstick coating.
• In large mixing bowl, combine yolks with 1/4 cup of the sugar, salt and 1 tablespoon hot tap water. Beat on medium speed until foamy. Raise speed to high and beat 3 to 5 minutes or until mixture increases in volume and flows in thick ribbons from beaters. Beat in lemon zest, vanilla, almond extract and orange juice.
• Sift together flour, cornstarch and baking powder. With a rubber spatula, lightly fold into beaten eggs until partly mixed. Set aside.
• In grease-free mixing bowl, beat egg whites on medium speed until frothy. Raise speed to high. As soft peaks just begin to form, gradually add remaining sugar, about a tablespoon at a time, and beat until whites stand in firm but not dry peaks.
• Using a wire whisk, mix about 1/3 of whites into yolk mixture. Fold yolk mixture into remaining whites until ingredients are evenly incorporated but not overmixed. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan and quickly transfer to center oven rack.
• Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, or until cake is slightly darker at edges and springs back when lightly pressed in center. Transfer pan to a wire rack. Drape a slightly damp tea towel over cake and let stand for five minutes. Remove towel. Loosen edges of cake with knife. Dust a long sheet of wax paper with powdered sugar. Lift cake and attached paper and lay, cake side down, on wax paper. Peel off attached paper and trim dry edges of cake. Cover cake with a fresh sheet of wax paper and turn again so that browned side is facing up. From short side, tightly roll up sponge cake and paper to form a log of even thickness. Secure log by folding ends of paper. Refrigerate for up to 2 days, or wrap airtight and freeze for up to 2 weeks.

LEMON ROULADE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200c/180c fan/gas 6. Grease the tin with a little oil and line the base with baking parchment. Put the eggs, caster sugar and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Whisk with an electric hand whisk until thick and doubled in volume - this will take about 5 mins. When ready, you should be able to lift out the beaters and the ribbons of batter that fall back to the bowl should remain visible on the surface for a few seconds.
• Sift in the flour and baking powder, then use a large metal spoon to fold in until just combined. Working quickly, tip half the mixture into another bowl. Add the lemon zest and yellow food colouring to one bowl, and the vanilla and orange colouring to the other. Mix again until just combined - try not to overmix as this will knock out the air, giving you a flat sponge. Transfer each mixture to a piping bag.
• Snip the end off of one piping bag, about 2cm from the tip. Quickly pipe lines along the tray. Repeat with the other bag, then bake for 10 mins.
• While the sponge cooks, spread a tea towel on your work surface with a sheet of baking parchment on top. When the sponge is cooked, flip it onto the parchment, then flip the whole thing over again, so that the brighter side of the sponge is now on the bottom. Using a sharp knife, trim the edges to neaten, then, with the shorter end facing you, use a sharp knife to score along one edge, about 2cm from the end - this will help to roll it up. Tuck the scored edge into the sponge, then continue rolling away from you, rolling the parchment and tea towel with it as you go. leave to cool completely like this for 20 mins.
• To make the filling, mix the mascarpone with the icing sugar and lemon juice. Once cooled, unroll the sponge and remove the baking parchment. Spread the mascarpone over the inside of the sponge, top with blobs of lemon curd, then re-roll, dust with a little icing sugar and serve. Will keep in the fridge for 2 days.
