Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream (chilled)
- 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375?F (190?C) and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs until frothy; add vanilla and mix well.
- Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture until smooth. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool briefly before transferring to a powdered sugar-dusted towel; roll it up gently while still warm.
- Whip heavy cream to soft peaks; fold in sliced strawberries.
- Unroll the cake, spread filling evenly, then roll back up tightly. Chill in plastic wrap for at least one hour before slicing.
Notes
For an extra flavor boost, add lemon zest to the batter or use different berries like raspberries or blueberries for filling.
Ensure your mixing bowl is chilled when whipping cream for better texture.
