Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the Cake:
    • 4 eggs (room temperature)
    • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt

    For Rolling:

    • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

    For the Filling:

    • 1 cup whipped cream (sweetened)
    • 1 cup sliced strawberries

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  • Prepare the Batter:
    In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Combine Dry Ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until fully incorporated.
  • Bake the Cake:
    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when gently pressed.
  • Roll the Cake:
    While the cake is still warm, sprinkle powdered sugar over the top. Place a clean kitchen towel on the cake, then carefully invert the pan to release the cake. Remove the parchment paper. Using the towel, gently roll the cake from one short end to the other. Allow it to cool completely in the rolled shape.
  • Add the Filling:
    Once cooled, unroll the cake and evenly spread whipped cream over the surface. Sprinkle sliced strawberries on top.
  • Roll and Chill:
    Gently roll the cake back up (without the towel). Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
  • Serve:
    Slice into even portions and serve chilled. Enjoy this light and fruity dessert!

Notes

  • Ensure eggs are at room temperature for maximum fluffiness in the cake.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the sweetness of whipped cream to your taste by adding powdered sugar.
