There are so many roads up there. I was going to try to make a map on mapquest, but ten minutes into it I gave up.
I would just say get a good map of lake county and go exploring, that is half the fun. Bring a highlighter and mark the roads you like. Things to look for, roads that run along lakes that are only slightly curved on the map, those tend to be the twistyest.
But stick around the mt verde, to astalula/howey in the hills, lake minnehaha/minneola and east lake apopka area...but there are more in the wekiva springs bassion, Mt Plymouth and such. So the more driving you do, the more roads you will find. It is easy to spend a day out there and never see the same road twice.

I just found this on my computer... I got it from this board, but it is missing some of my favorite roads on it, so I will try to make my own copy here during the week, but this will get you started. Like 7th Street from Hwy 50 through Montverde is an awesome scenic road, and its not on this map, but like I said, its a start.
