2 tsp vanilla
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Filling:

½ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

How-to:
Cake
1. Preheat the oven to 350. Grease the cake pan with cooking spray or butter then lay a piece of parchment paper and lightly spray the top of the parchment paper.
2. Whisk egg yolks, melted butter, milk, lemon zest, vanilla, and ½ of the granulated sugar until combined.
3. In a small bowl whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt until combined.
4. Whisk dry and wet ingredients together until combined.
5. Using a hand mixer and medium bowl or stand mixer, beat the egg whites on high until soft peaks form. Add in the other half of the granulated sugar and continue beating for another 1-2 minutes.
6. Using a spatula, fold the egg whites into the cake batter until fully combined.
7. Pour batter onto a prepared baking pan and bake for 13-15 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
8. Lay a tea towel on a flat surface and lightly dust with powdered sugar and set aside.
9. When the cake is done immediately invert the cake onto the towel. Remove the parchment paper and then roll the cake in the towel starting at one end. Place on a wire rack to cool completely.
Filling
1. Using a hand or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks.
2. When the cake has cooled gently unroll and spread the filling evenly over the cake. Add the sliced strawberries on top and carefully roll the cake back up. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
3. Dust with powdered sugar, strawberries, and almonds, and serve.
