Ingredients

  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese at room temperature
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 cups mixed berries

Instructions

  • Using and electric mixer, beat the cream until stiff peaks form.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar until completely incorporated and smooth.
  • Add the mascarpone to the whipped cream and beat just a minute or so until combined.
  • Gently unroll the sponge cake and brush the lemon simple syrup over the top.
  • Spread the cream mixture over the cake (photo 5).
  • Scatter the berries evenly across the cream (photo 6).
  • Carefully roll up the cake (photo 7).
  • Wrap the lemon roll in foil that has been lined with a piece of parchment, burrito style (photo 8).
  • Before serving, using a bread knife, cut off the ends of the roll to give it a finished look.
  • Dust the top of the roll with powdered sugar.
  • I also like to take about a 1/2 cup of whipping cream, whisked until it holds a stiff peak, placed into a pastry bag and then I run a ribbon of cream down the top of the roll (you can also spoon the cream on the top). Decorate with berries.
