Description
A delightful dessert featuring a soft sponge cake rolled with whipped cream and fresh strawberries, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam or preserves, warmed
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 10&215;15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar until pale and thick. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture. Sift the flour over the mixture and carefully fold it in until just combined.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared jelly roll pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- While the cake is baking, lay a clean kitchen towel on a flat surface and dust it generously with powdered sugar.
- As soon as the cake is out of the oven, invert it onto the prepared towel and peel off the parchment paper.
- Starting from one short end, tightly roll the cake and towel together. Let it cool completely in the roll.
- In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream with 1/2 cup powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Once the cake is completely cool, unroll it. Spread an even layer of the whipped cream over the surface.
- Arrange half of the sliced strawberries over the whipped cream.
- Carefully and tightly re-roll the cake.
- Transfer the swiss roll to a serving platter. Drizzle with warmed strawberry jam.
- Decorate the top with remaining sliced strawberries, extra dollops of whipped cream, and fresh mint leaves. Dust with additional powdered sugar before serving.
