LEMON CREME CAKE WITH EQUAL 
5 egg yolks
1 can (14 oz.) Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk (NOT evaporated milk)
1/2 c. lemon juice
Few drops yellow food coloring, optional
5 packet Equal

CAKE:

3/4 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
5 eggs, separated
1/8 tsp. salt
1/4 c. lemon juice
1/8 tsp. grated lemon rind
5 packets Equal

Make filling first so that it has had time to set before you begin cake. In medium bowl, beat egg yolks; stir in milk, lemon juice and food coloring. Add 5 packets of Equal and beat again. Refrigerate until cake is cooled and ready to fill.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 1 inch jelly roll pan with vegetable spray. Line only the bottom with waxed paper; do not let paper come up side of pan. Generously spray paper with vegetable spray. Sift together flour and baking powder onto clean piece of waxed paper. Reserve.

Beat together egg whites and salt in large bowl until soft peaks form. Beat egg yolks with lemon juice and lemon rind in large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat reserved flour mixture into egg yolk mixture. Gently fold in beaten egg whites until no streaks of white remain. Turn batter into prepared jelly roll pan, spreading evenly.

Bake in preheated oven for 5 to 7 minutes or until top springs back when lightly pressed with fingertip. Cake should not be brown.

Loosen cake around edges with the tip of a knife. Invert onto a clean towel. Very carefully peel off paper. (Use knife to help peel off waxed paper.) Starting at short end, roll up cake and towel together. Place roll, seam side down on rack. Cool completely.

When jelly roll is cool, unroll carefully. Sprinkle with 5 packets Equal. Spread roll evenly with filling; reroll without the towel. Place roll, seam side down, on a serving plate. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve. Garnish with remaining lemon creme, if desired.

Lemon Creme Cake with Equal

 Beverly Morris (Texas) says:
Not sure if this is supposed to be a low-carb or low-sugar recipe, but the Eagle Brand milk is high sugar - 220 grams in this recipe. If the cake is maybe 12 servings, then that over 18 grams of sugar per serving, not counting the other ingredients. I don't have a recipe for sugarless sweetened condensed milk that is also low carb, so wouldn't know how to subsitute. This recipe sounds great, but not for the sugar challenged among us.
