Baked Sunday Mornings is celebrating Spring this week with a pastel cake. It’s indeed light and lemony. The filling is really delicious and is the best part of the recipe.
I doubt I’ll make this cake again, not because it was bad, but because I have a bias against jelly roll cakes. I don’t like making them, wrestling with getting it rolled up just right without filling going everywhere. And I don’t think they’re that interesting visually either.
That said, I’ll keep the raspberry cream filling in my book of tricks. It would be nice as a filling on a layer cake, or better yet, as a topping for just about anything. My favorite way to serve it is to apply it directly to my mouth.

Totally agree on all accounts. Though if it involved chocolate, I’d be more inclined to wrestle with it. ;-) Yesss– that yummy filling would be perfect in a layer cake!
I too probably won’t be making this one again-the taste wasn’t bad, it just didn’t seem worth the payoff.
Well it looks lovely. What if you made the same cake layer, but cut them into little rounds and layered the rounds with the filling? Mini cakes instead of a jelly roll cake! :)
