Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
Prepare the sponge cake batter by mixing the dry and wet ingredients until smooth.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden.
Turn the warm cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar and gently roll it up. Let it cool completely.
Unroll the cake and spread an even layer of lemon whipped cream or lemon cream filling.
Carefully roll the cake back into a tight log and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Dust with powdered sugar, garnish with lemon zest if desired, slice, and serve chilled.
