Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet (approximately 17x12 inches) with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the angel food cake mix according to the package instructions, adding the 1.25 cups of water. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to medium speed and mix for another minute, ensuring a fluffy batter.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking sheet, spreading it smoothly to the edges. Tap the sheet gently on the countertop to release air bubbles.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and the top springs back lightly when touched.
While the cake bakes, lay a clean kitchen towel flat on the counter and generously sprinkle 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar over it.
Immediately after removing the cake from the oven, carefully invert it onto the prepared kitchen towel. Peel off the parchment paper or baking mat. Starting at one short end, roll the warm cake and towel together into a log. Let it cool completely, about 1 hour.
In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with 0.25 cup of powdered sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the lemon curd until fully combined, creating a light and creamy filling.
Once the cake is cool, unroll it gently. Spread the lemon filling evenly over the surface, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges to prevent overflow.
Carefully reroll the cake (without the towel) and transfer it to a serving platter, seam-side down. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to set.
Dust the top of the roll with additional powdered sugar before slicing and serving. Garnish with lemon slices or zest for added flair, if desired.
