Ingredients
Scale
Main Cake Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Liquid and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 375F (190C) and line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, applying a light grease coating.
- Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl and set aside.
- Whip eggs and sugar until they become thick and pale, then incorporate vanilla extract thoroughly.
- Gently fold dry ingredients into the egg mixture, ensuring minimal mixing. Softly integrate milk until the batter appears smooth.
- Distribute batter evenly across the prepared pan, creating a uniform layer. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the surface turns golden and responds with resilience when lightly pressed.
- Create strawberry filling by simmering strawberries and granulated sugar over medium heat, allowing the mixture to reduce and thicken. Cool completely before further use.
- Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, creating a light and airy cream filling.
- After baking, let cake cool momentarily. Sprinkle a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar and carefully transfer the cake, peeling off the parchment paper.
- Generously spread cooled strawberry mixture across the cake’s surface, followed by an even layer of whipped cream. Using the towel as guidance, delicately roll the cake from one end to the other.
- Transfer the rolled cake to a serving plate, optionally dusting with additional powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Selecting ripe, sweet strawberries ensures a more intense and natural fruity flavor in the filling, enhancing the overall taste of the cake roll.
- Gently folding dry ingredients prevents deflating the beaten eggs, maintaining the cake’s light and airy texture for a perfectly soft roll.
- Room temperature eggs whip up more easily and create a more voluminous batter, resulting in a more delicate and tender cake texture.
- Use a clean, lint-free kitchen towel when rolling the cake to prevent sticking and make the rolling process smoother and more controlled.
