I made the lemon filling to go with a sponge cake from another recipe. God, it was disgusting. One of the worst things I've ever tasted... Threw it all out. What a waste of ingredients. The sponge in this recipe probably won't work, which is why many previous users say that it was too tough, easy answer for that: it calls for ALL-PURPOSE flour, should be cake flour. I haven't tried it, but argh, I'm never making anything lemon flavored ever again.

The recipe may deserve 5 stars. The cake maker (me) may be the reason for the 3 stars. My cake was tough which indicates that I probable stirred the batter too much. Also the cake part did not bake up evenly as it was too thick in the center. Next time I will spread the batter more towards the corners and the sides. I cut the sugar (why does every recipe call for A CUP of sugar?) I used about 3/4 cup in the cake and 2/3 cup in the filling. I think the filling was still a little too sweet. I like to taste food, not sugar. OK, there's a reason for 3 stars - too much sugar.

This was just ok for me, I must have done something wrong, becauase when I tryed to roll the cake it broke. I ended up with a 3 tier rectangle cake instead of a roll, but the flavor was ok.

A good cake roll recipe. However, i would change a few things in this recipe the next time i make it. For the cake part, instead of adding water, add lemon juice. When baking, watch the cake careful so that the top and sides of it doesn't get hard and brown. For the filling, add the flour gradually and stir constantly. This will prevent the filling from forming lumps. Thanks for this great recipe1!!
