This is a Lemon Lovers Heaven they will stand in line for a slice. I love this roll and I don't care all that much for desserts . It is fresh, light and just the right Lemony flavor. It takes a bit of time to make but worth it and you can do it ahead! This roll can be frozen wrapped in plastic & foil, to defrost & serve remove wrap , place on platter & refrigerate for 5 hours Slice & serve
