First, my apologies, I'm going to be one of "those people" who rates a recipe without doing it strictly as written, but it turned out too good to not review it. The cake itself turned out great. Although I really think the instructions for making the cake into a roll are lacking. Luckily, I made the carrot cake roulade last Easter, so I returned to that article to get the technique instructions there. (Do a search on this website for "Carrot Cake Roulade" and you should be able to find them). I baked my cake for 11 minutes and I thought it was a great cake. For the filling, I stayed with the lemon idea, but I wanted something more than lemon curd and whipped cream, so I used the filling from the Lemon Icebox Cake (again, do a search on this website) using curd, cream and meringue. (I halved the recipe, but it was still slightly too much filling). It was a hit. I'd definitely make it again, although next time I might use a different curd recipe because the one I used wasn't quite as lemon-y as I would have liked. I didn't use the strawberry salsa topping....I ran out of time so I just had sliced strawberries and it worked fine. Again, sorry for the review that isn't strictly the recipe as written, but it turned out so delicious. I can't wait to have a reason to make this again. UPDATE: I made this again a second time, but the cake did not turn out as well. I believe I made two errors, so I'm adding this update in case it helps someone else: make sure your milk is not too hot. The second time, I heated mine in the microwave, and I think it got too hot. Also, make sure you fold in the flour additions well before adding any further additions.
