Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- ¾ cup (180 ml) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (90 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- ½ cup (120 ml) strawberry jam
- ½ cup fresh strawberries, diced
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for filling)
- ¼ cup (30 g) powdered sugar (for rolling the cake)
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cake)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
Decoration (Optional):
- Whipped cream
- Fresh strawberries
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the sponge canvas by whisking eggs, sugar, and vanilla until they transform into a pale, voluminous mixture. Delicately incorporate flour, baking powder, and salt, maintaining the airy texture through gentle folding techniques.
- Distribute the silky batter across a lined jelly roll pan, ensuring an even landscape. Transfer to a preheated oven and bake until the surface springs back with a light touch, revealing its golden perfection.
- Immediately transfer the warm cake onto a sugar-dusted kitchen towel. Carefully peel away the protective parchment and initiate a precise rolling motion, capturing the towel within the soft layers.
- Allow the rolled cake to cool completely, releasing steam and setting its delicate structure.
- Craft a luscious filling by whipping cream to pillowy peaks, gently integrating strawberry jam and fresh strawberry fragments for vibrant bursts of flavor.
- Unfurl the cooled cake with precision, spreading the strawberry cream across its interior landscape. Execute a careful rerolling, creating a seamless spiral of cake and filling.
- Secure the cake roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate, allowing the flavors to meld and the structure to stabilize.
- Before presentation, dust with a delicate veil of powdered sugar. Embellish with whipped cream swirls, fresh strawberry garnishes, and playful sprinkles to elevate the visual appeal.
- Slice and serve, revealing the elegant spiral of cake and fruity cream within.
Notes
- Ensure eggs are at room temperature for maximum volume and fluffiness when beating the batter.
- Use a light hand when folding dry ingredients to maintain the airiness of the sponge cake and prevent a dense texture.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend, adding xanthan gum for better structure.
- Prevent cake cracking by rolling the warm cake immediately and letting it cool completely before filling to maintain flexibility.
