Lemon Jelly Roll

Lemon Jelly Roll cake with powdered sugar topping.

Lemon Jelly Roll is a very old fashioned type of ‘roll up’ cake which many Mums (myself included) can baulk at due to the cake cracking! �The secret to getting a good roll is to very carefully measure the flour. If you add too much the cake will dry and this is what causes the cracking.
