Ingredients

For the base:
- 5 eggs
- 5 tablespoons of sugar
- 3 tablespoons of rice flour
- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 50 ml of oil
- A pinch of salt
- Grated zest of one lemon

For the cream:
- 200 ml of water
- 5 tablespoons of sugar
- 3 tablespoons of semolina
- Juice and zest of half a lemon
- 100 g of butter or margarine

For decoration:
- Powdered sugar
- Freshly grated lemon zest

Step-by-step instructions

Step 1: Preparing the base

1. Beat the egg whites: In a large bowl, add the egg whites and a pinch of salt. Using a mixer, beat them on high speed until frothy, then gradually add the sugar. Continue mixing until you achieve a firm, shiny meringue.

2. Prepare the yolks: In another bowl, whisk the yolks with the oil and grated lemon zest. This step will add flavor and moisture to the base.

3. Combine the ingredients: Gently fold the yolk mixture into the egg whites using a spatula, being careful not to lose the air in the mixture. Then, add the rice flour mixed with cornstarch, stirring gently.

4. Baking: Pour the mixture into a baking tray lined with parchment paper and level the surface. Place the tray in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (moderate heat) and bake for about 20 minutes. The base is ready when it turns slightly golden at the edges and easily pulls away from the paper.

5. Cooling: Once baked, remove the base from the oven and let it cool slightly. Use a knife to detach the edges from the parchment paper, then carefully flip it onto another sheet of parchment paper to cool completely.

Step 2: Preparing the cream

1. Cook the semolina: In a saucepan, add 200 ml of water, 5 tablespoons of sugar, and the grated lemon zest. Bring the mixture to a boil, then gradually add the semolina, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cook for about 8 minutes until the semolina becomes creamy.

2. Incorporate the butter: Once the semolina is ready, remove the saucepan from heat and add the butter or margarine, mixing until completely melted. Finally, add the lemon juice for a fresh taste.

Step 3: Assembling the roll

1. Turn the base: Once the base has cooled, flip it over with the parchment paper side up. Evenly spread the semolina cream over the entire surface of the base.

2. Roll it up: Using the parchment paper, start rolling the base tightly from one end. Make sure the roll is well wrapped.

3. Final cooling: After rolling the base, wrap the roll in parchment paper or plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour to set and maintain its shape.

Step 4: Decorating and serving

1. Decorate the roll: After it has cooled, remove the roll from the refrigerator, carefully unwrap it, and sprinkle powdered sugar and freshly grated lemon zest on top.

2. Slice and serve: Cut the roll into even slices and serve on an elegant platter. Make sure each slice has a good portion of cream.
