Time 2h5m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 cup butter, softened
4 eggs
2 cups white sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
5 fluid ounces fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
¼ cup confectioners' sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and then line it with enough aluminum foil to leave overhang along all edges for lifting finished dessert from the pan. Grease the foil.
  • Stir 2 cups flour, 1 cup confectioners' sugar, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest together in a bowl. Mash butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles fine crumbs; press into the bottom of the prepared dish.
  • Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Beat eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer until lightened in color.
  • Mix white sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and baking powder in a bowl until no lumps remain; beat into the eggs until incorporated fully. Stir lemon juice and lemon zest to the egg mixture; pour over the prepared crust.
  • Bake in preheated oven until set in the middle and the edges are slightly golden, about 25 minutes.
  • Cool pastry in the pan until just warm to the touch, dust with confectioners' sugar, and cool completely. Lift pastry from pan by the foil and refrigerate until slightly firmed. Cut into 2-inch squares; halve each square diagonally to get triangles.

Luscious Lemon Angel Roll (Pampered Chef) image

I found this in one of my pampered chef recipe books and it has become my favorite dessert to serve. This recipe makes two rolls, and once I brought one roll to a potluck, and wrapped the other one in wax paper and put it in a ziplock bag and froze it!! We pulled it out a few weeks later and it was just as delicious even after being defrosted! Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the process.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: When a recipe calls for room temperature ingredients, it's important to take them out of the fridge about an hour before you start baking. This will help them blend more evenly and smoothly into the batter.
  • Creaming Butter and Sugar: When creaming butter and sugar together, make sure to do it until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
  • Folding Egg Whites: When folding egg whites into a batter, be gentle and use a spatula. Over-mixing can deflate the egg whites and make the batter dense.
  • Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the cake while it's baking. Every oven is different, so the baking time may vary slightly. Use a toothpick or cake tester to check if the cake is done. It should come out clean when inserted into the center of the cake.
