Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting towel)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for whipped cream)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs for 5 minutes until thick and pale. Gradually add sugar and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold dry ingredients into the egg mixture. Stir in milk until combined.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the cake springs back when touched.
- Dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar. Turn the hot cake onto the towel and carefully peel off the parchment. Roll the cake up in the towel, starting from the short end. Let it cool completely.
- While the cake cools, beat heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
- Unroll the cooled cake and spread with strawberry jam (if using), then a layer of whipped cream. Top with chopped strawberries.
- Re-roll the cake gently without the towel. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Dust with powdered sugar or garnish with extra strawberries before serving.
Notes
- Be sure not to overbake the sponge or it may crack when rolling.
- You can replace fresh strawberries with other berries or fruit preserves.
- Use stabilized whipped cream if the roll needs to sit out longer.
