Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup cake flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
For the Filling:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan and line with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs on high speed for 5 minutes, until thick and lemon-colored.
- Gradually add sugar, beating until mixture is light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, combine cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold into egg mixture.
- Stir in vanilla extract.
- Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Immediately turn cake onto a kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off parchment paper.
- Roll up cake in the towel jelly-roll style, starting with a short side. Cool completely on a wire rack.
For the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, beat heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Carefully unroll cooled cake. Spread whipped cream evenly over cake, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
- Arrange sliced strawberries over whipped cream.
- Roll up cake again, without the towel. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Enjoy!
