Chillingsworth, in Brewster on Cape Cod, was one of several restaurants that caused a great deal of mail to flow into our You Asked for It department during the '60s and '70s. This homespun lemon roll is part of its legacy.

Cooks' notes:

• A long serrated knife will cut neat slices without compressing or tearing cake. • Filling can be chilled up to 3 days. • Assembled cake improves in flavor if made 1 day ahead and kept chilled.
