Raspberry Lemon Roll

Well, now, this was fun to make, it being my first every attempt at such a roll! I followed the directions as given, but ended up NOT using all of either the the cream cheese or the pastry filling, since I didn't want it too full to roll properly! What was left over I simply served on the side, & this dessert was a hit! Oh, yes, I also left out the liquor because of AA friends! Thanks much for sharing!

One of my more ambitious forays into baking - my first jelly roll. I felt pretty sassy after I flipped it on the towel and rolled it up (I rolled from the short side). When it was cool, I unrolled it still feeling confident; brushed with the Chambord, spread with the pastry filling & topped with the cream cheese mixture as instructed. Then let's re-roll it - OOPS - way too much filling. It squirted out the ends and bulged out the top with every roll I made. Needless to say, that knocked the sassy out of me. I'm guessing that half the amount of cream cheese mixture would have been plenty. The taste is lighter on the lemon than I was expecting but a great dessert nonetheless. Thanks for sharing your recipe that kept me entertained on a rainy afternoon.

I made your raspberry roll for company and they all loved the texture and flavor. The presentation could have been better, but that was my fault, not yours. I had no problem until I had completely assembled it and tried to roll it back up. That is when it started cracking apart on me. My friend suggested that next time I roll it in Saran Wrap instead of a tea towel, what do you think of that idea? It taste great, even if it didn't look pretty.
