  • - Hey everyone.

  • Its Natasha of NatashasKitchen.com.

  • We're making a moist and melt-in-your-mouth,

  • soft blackberry lemon cake roll.

  • You'll be surprised how easy this is.

  • Lets get started on the fluffy four ingredient sponge cake.

  • Add five room temperature eggs

  • to the bowl of your stand mixer,

  • and beat on high speed one minute or until foamy.

  • In a steady stream, add 3/4 cup of sugar,

  • and continue beating on high speed

  • for another seven minutes.

  • The batter will be thick and fluffy.

  • (lighthearted music)

  • In a small bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup of flour,

  • and half a teaspoon of baking powder.

  • Then sift it into your egg mixture 1/3 at a time,

  • folding between each addition.

  • Fold scraping from the bottom of the bowl

  • to make sure there are no hidden pockets of flour,

  • and when you no longer see streaks of flour, stop mixing.

  • Right away transfer your batter to an 18 by 13

  • rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  • (upbeat music)

  • Spread it out evenly with a spatula,

  • then bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 13 to 15 minutes.

  • My oven always takes 15 minutes to get that

  • beautiful, light golden brown top.

  • Run a thin spatula or knife around the edges

  • of the pan to loosen the cake.

  • While the cake is hot and just out of the oven,

  • quickly transfer it to a clean tea towel,

  • and peel off the parchment backing.

  • Roll the cake into the tea towel,

  • then set it aside and let it cool to room temperature.

  • The frosting is even easier.

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine eight ounces

  • of softened cream cheese, eight tablespoons of

  • softened unsalted butter, and one cup of powdered sugar.

  • Start beating on low speed so you don't

  • end up in a cloud of powdered sugar.

  • Then, once the sugar is incorporated,

  • increase the speed to high and beat

  • until its whipped and fluffy.

  • It takes just two to three minutes.

  • Set aside six of your prettiest blackberries,

  • and coarsely chop the rest.

  • Transfer the chopped berries into your frosting,

  • and beat on low speed just until incorporated.

  • For the simple lemon syrup, combine 1/4 cup

  • of warm water with one tablespoon of sugar.

  • Then add three to four tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.

  • Stir it together to dissolve the sugar, and set it aside.

  • Now that our cake is at room temperature,

  • I'm gonna carefully unroll it and loosen it from the towel.

  • Brush the lemon syrup evenly over the top.

  • Next, spread the cream over the surface of the cake.

  • I've found that it's much easier to frost the cake

  • if you place it in dollops over the surface,

  • and spread it out with a spatula.

  • Now going in the same direction as before,

  • tightly roll your cake into a log.

  • Trim the edges if you like, to make it prettier for serving,

  • and so you can enjoy a sample of course.

  • Then transfer the cake to a serving platter,

  • and dust the top generously with powdered sugar.

  • We have a classic Swiss roll,

  • and you can leave it this way because it's

  • beautiful as is, but lets take it up a notch.

  • This topping is so easy and will make

  • your cake a show stopper.

  • Beat together 3/4 cup of cold heavy whipping cream

  • with one tablespoon of powdered sugar,

  • on high for two minutes until whipped and spreadable.

  • Transfer that to a piping bag fitted with an open star tip,

  • and pipe six big, beautiful flowers over the top.

  • Garnish with your reserved blackberries

  • and some lemon wedges and that's all there is to it.

  • Oh, yeah.

  • Something about the combination of blackberry

  • and lemon, just totally makes my mouth water.

  • Good thing it's time for the taste test (giggles)

  • Here we go.

  • Oo, and its so soft.

  • Yum.

  • Ah, look at that.

  • Its a big piece, I know.

  • Don't worry, I got this.

  • I love that this is staring back at me.

  • Delicious.

  • It literally melts in your mouth.

  • This is so fluffy.

  • Perfectly moist with that lemony syrup,

  • and the blackberries in the cream

  • just give it this burst of flavor.

  • This is delicious.

  • You guys are gonna love this recipe.
