Ingredients

Scale

For the Sponge Cake

  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Filling

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced thinly

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sponge Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Whisk the eggs and granulated sugar together vigorously until the mixture is thick, pale, and fluffy, which creates the light sponge base.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the egg mixture along with the vanilla extract, taking care not to deflate the batter to keep it airy.
  3. Bake and Roll: Pour the batter into a lined jelly roll pan, spreading evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cake is springy to the touch. While still warm, invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar and carefully roll the cake up to prevent cracks.
  4. Prepare the Filling: Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Slice the fresh strawberries thinly to layer inside the roll. The whipped cream should be light yet hold its shape.
  5. Assemble the Swiss Roll: Gently unroll the cooled sponge, spread the whipped cream evenly, and scatter the sliced strawberries over the cream. Roll it up tightly but gently, finishing with the seam side down for a clean presentation.

Notes

  • Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for optimal volume.
  • Fold flour mixture gently into eggs to maintain a light sponge texture.
  • Roll the cake while still warm to avoid cracking and help it set in shape.
  • Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and juiciness in the filling.
  • Dust the outside with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
