Lemon-Lime Filling:
Meringue Frosting:
Cake:
Make Filling:
Transfer to bowl. Place plastic wrap directly on surface to prevent skin from forming. Cool filling completely. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead and refrigerated.)
Make Frosting:
Set bowl over (but not in) saucepan of briskly simmering water; do not let water touch bottom of bowl. Beat at high speed until mixture forms fairly stiff peaks and is spreadable, about 4 minutes.
Remove bowl from over water and beat mixture until cool and texture of marshmallow fluff, about 3 minutes, adding vanilla if desired. Cover and cool completely. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead and refrigerated.)
Make Cake:
Using electric mixer, beat whites and salt in large bowl until soft peaks form. Add sugar 1 tablespoon at a time and beat until stiff but not dry.
Blend yolks and 1 tablespoon lemon peel in medium bowl. Gently fold in 1/4 of whites. Fold mixture back into whites.
Sift potato starch and cake meal over and fold gently. Turn batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake until light brown, about 10 minutes. Run knife around side of cake and invert onto towel-lined rack. Cool.
To assemble:
Discard paper from cake. Spread cake evenly with filling. Roll up tightly as for
jellyroll, starting at 1 short end and using towel as aid.
Transfer cake to platter, seam side down. Spread frosting over entire cake. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Tent loosely with foil and refrigerate. Bring cake roll to room temperature before serving.)
