LUSCIOUS LEMON ANGEL ROLL (PAMPERED CHEF)
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:
- Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons on hand, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be slightly less bright.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will make the cake tough. Beat them until they are stiff peaks, but not dry.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the batter. Overmixing will deflate the egg whites and make the cake dense.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the cake.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
Luscious Lemon Angel Roll is a light, fluffy, and refreshing cake that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of lemon and cream cheese frosting is irresistible. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
