A Step-by-Step Guide to Making Strawberry Cake Roll

Indulge in the delightful charm of a strawberry cake roll—a perfect blend of soft, sponge cake and fresh strawberry cream. Here’s a simple recipe to create this treat at home.

Ingredients:

For the sponge cake: 4 eggs, 60g sugar, 60g all-purpose flour, 15g milk, and 15g melted butter. For the filling: 200ml heavy cream, 30g powdered sugar, and 150g fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the sponge cake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Separate eggs, beating whites until frothy, then gradually add sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in egg yolks, followed by sifted flour, milk, and melted butter. Pour the batter onto the sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.

2. Make the cream: While the cake bakes, whip heavy cream and powdered sugar until thick. Fold in sliced strawberries.

3. Assemble the roll: Once the cake is baked, immediately invert it onto a clean towel. Peel off parchment paper and spread the cream evenly. Starting from one end, roll the cake tightly with the towel, then chill for 30 minutes to set.

4. Serve: Slice the roll into rounds and garnish with extra strawberries or a dusting of powdered sugar.

This versatile dessert is ideal for gatherings or a sweet afternoon snack. Enjoy your homemade strawberry cake roll!
