LEMON-COCONUT MATZO JELLY ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Make the cake: Brush a rimmed 11-by-17-inch baking sheet with vegetable oil and line with parchment paper. Oil the parchment and dust with potato starch, tapping out any excess.
• Spread the coconut on a separate baking sheet; bake until lightly toasted, about 8 minutes. Let cool. Finely grind all but 1/4 cup coconut in a food processor; add the matzo meal and process until finely ground. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the potato starch and salt.
• Combine 1/4 cup vegetable oil with the lemon zest and juice in a bowl; set aside. Put the eggs in their shells in a bowl and cover with hot tap water; let stand 5 minutes. Crack the eggs into a bowl; add the granulated sugar and beat with a mixer on medium-low speed until combined, 1 minute. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until thick and fluffy, 12 minutes. Fold the egg mixture into the matzo meal mixture with a rubber spatula until combined. Stir in the lemon-oil mixture until just combined. Spread the batter on the baking sheet; bake until the cake is golden and springs back when pressed, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 5 minutes in the pan; run a knife around the edge of the cake to loosen.

Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water); whisk until the sugar is dissolved, 3 minutes. Remove the bowl from the pan and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until thick, glossy and cool, 3 to 5 minutes.
