Make Cake:
In a large bowl of an electric mixer, beat one whole egg and 3 yolks until thick and color lightens. Gradually add all but 2 tablespoons sugar, the lemon juice, and zest. Sift potato starch over mixture and incorporate with a rubber scraper.
In another large clean bowl, with clean beaters, beat 3 egg whites until foamy on medium low speed. Add a pinch of salt, gradually increase speed, add 2 tbsp. sugar, beat until shiny and stiff. Fold whites into yolk mixture in three additions.
Spread the batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake 25 minutes.
Cake will spring back when lightly touched. Spread a towel on the counter and lightly sift with Passover confectioners' sugar. Turn cake onto towel, remove paper, gently roll up cake in towel and cool. May be chilled to fill later.
