Lemon Coconut Roulade Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 by 13-inch Swiss roll pan or jelly roll pan with foil, folding the sides up to make a frame of 1 1/2-inches high and squeezing the corners together. Brush lightly with vegetable oil.
• Place the egg whites in the spotlessly clean stainless steel bowl of an electric food mixer, or use a hand-held electric beater and whisk until soft peaks form.
• Add all the sugar, but if using a hand-held beater, add the sugar in stages, and whisk at full speed for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until stiff peaks form. Using a large metal spoon, fold in the coconut firmly and quickly.
• Smooth the meringue into the prepared tin with a palette knife, and bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until faintly browned and firm to the touch.
• Allow the meringue to cool for a few minutes, and then turn out onto a sheet of foil (slightly bigger than the roulade) deftly turn it upside down onto the sheet gently removing the foil on the base. Allow to cool completely.
• For the filling, stir the cream and curd together. Adjust to taste. It should have a good 'lemony'/'limey' tang to contrast with the sweet meringue.
• Spread the curd cream mixture evenly over the meringue, leaving the long edge nearest to you, about 1 1/2 inches free of filling. Cover the cream with the fruit.
• Holding the foil closest to you, roll up the roulade away from you and leave it in the foil until you are ready to serve (it will hold neatly here for a couple of hours in the fridge).
• When ready to serve, unwrap the roulade, and gently push it onto a serving dish using a palette knife or cake slice.
• Dust with icing sugar and decorate with a few more raspberries and mint leaves, if you wish.

Steps:

• Fill a low-ball glass with ice. Pour coconut rum and peach brandy over ice. Top with grapefruit-flavored soda; squeeze lime over soda. Stir.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200c/180c fan/gas 6. Grease the tin with a little oil and line the base with baking parchment. Put the eggs, caster sugar and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Whisk with an electric hand whisk until thick and doubled in volume - this will take about 5 mins. When ready, you should be able to lift out the beaters and the ribbons of batter that fall back to the bowl should remain visible on the surface for a few seconds.
• Sift in the flour and baking powder, then use a large metal spoon to fold in until just combined. Working quickly, tip half the mixture into another bowl. Add the lemon zest and yellow food colouring to one bowl, and the vanilla and orange colouring to the other. Mix again until just combined - try not to overmix as this will knock out the air, giving you a flat sponge. Transfer each mixture to a piping bag.
• Snip the end off of one piping bag, about 2cm from the tip. Quickly pipe lines along the tray. Repeat with the other bag, then bake for 10 mins.
• While the sponge cooks, spread a tea towel on your work surface with a sheet of baking parchment on top. When the sponge is cooked, flip it onto the parchment, then flip the whole thing over again, so that the brighter side of the sponge is now on the bottom. Using a sharp knife, trim the edges to neaten, then, with the shorter end facing you, use a sharp knife to score along one edge, about 2cm from the end - this will help to roll it up. Tuck the scored edge into the sponge, then continue rolling away from you, rolling the parchment and tea towel with it as you go. leave to cool completely like this for 20 mins.
• To make the filling, mix the mascarpone with the icing sugar and lemon juice. Once cooled, unroll the sponge and remove the baking parchment. Spread the mascarpone over the inside of the sponge, top with blobs of lemon curd, then re-roll, dust with a little icing sugar and serve. Will keep in the fridge for 2 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 11x17-inch jelly roll pan. Line with parchment. Finely grind coconut and flour in processor. Using electric mixer, beat yolks and 1/4 cup sugar in large bowl until pale yellow and slowly dissolving ribbon forms when beaters are lifted, about 5 minutes. Stir in lemon peel. Using clean dry beaters, beat whites and salt in another bowl until medium peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until stiff but not dry. Fold whites into yolk mixture in 2 additions. Gently fold in coconut mixture. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Run small sharp knife around pan sides to loosen cake. Slide cake on parchment onto rack; cool. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Return cake to pan. Cover with plastic; store at room temperature.)
• Bring first 3 ingredients to simmer in heavy medium saucepan. Whisk yolks and flour in bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in some of hot cream mixture. Return mixture to saucepan and stir over medium heat until custard boils and thickens, about 2 minutes. Pour mixture into bowl. Cool to lukewarm. Add butter and whisk until smooth. Whisk in rum and coconut extract. Cover and chill until very thick but still spreadable, about 1 hour. Slide cake on parchment onto work surface. Run long sharp knife between cake and parchment to loosen.
• Spread filling over cake, leaving 3/4-inch border. Starting at 1 long side, roll up cake jelly roll style. Transfer to platter seam side down. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Whip cream, sour cream, rum, sugar, lemon peel and vanilla in medium bowl to stiff peaks. Spread frosting over cake. Press coconut onto sides of cake, leaving 2-inch-wide strip without coconut down center. Decorate center strip with lemon.
