Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam (or preserves)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar on high speed for 5 minutes, until pale and thick. Add vanilla and milk, mixing just until combined.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until fully incorporated.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- While warm, turn the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Remove the parchment and roll the cake up in the towel from the short end. Allow it to cool completely.
- In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Unroll the cooled cake and spread with strawberry jam, followed by the whipped cream. Add a layer of fresh strawberries.
- Re-roll the cake carefully and place seam side down on a platter. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and refrigerate for 30 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Do not overbake the sponge to keep it pliable for rolling.
- Roll the cake while warm to prevent cracking.
- Substitute strawberry jam with raspberry or apricot for variety.
