Here’s a recipe for an easy Strawberry Cake Roll:
Ingredients:
For the Cake:
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup milk
For the Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
For Garnish (optional):
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Extra strawberries for topping
Instructions:
1. Make the Cake:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer for about 5 minutes until pale and thick. Gradually add sugar and vanilla extract.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, alternating with milk, until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Immediately roll the cake up in the parchment paper while it’s still warm. Allow it to cool completely.
2. Prepare the Filling:
- Beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
3. Assemble the Cake Roll:
- Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the whipped cream and strawberry mixture evenly over the surface.
- Gently re-roll the cake without the parchment paper.
4. Serve:
- Dust with powdered sugar and top with extra strawberries if desired.
- Slice and serve.
Enjoy your delightful strawberry cake roll!
