Strawberry Birthday Cake Roll
Fluffy sponge, luscious cream, and fresh strawberries rolled into a dreamy dessert.
Ingredients
4 large eggs
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
¼ cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
1 cup whipped cream (stiff peaks)
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat to 375°F (190°C).
Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
2. Make the Cake Batter
In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla on high speed for 3–5 minutes, until pale and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gently fold dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined (do not overmix).
3. Bake the Cake
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the surface springs back when touched lightly.
4. Cool & Roll
While warm, sprinkle powdered sugar on the surface.
Invert onto a clean kitchen towel. Peel off parchment paper.
Gently roll the cake with the towel, starting from the short end.
Let it cool completely in its rolled shape.
5. Assemble the Roll
Unroll the cooled cake gently.
Spread with a layer of whipped cream, then top with sliced strawberries.
6. Roll & Chill
Carefully re-roll the cake (without the towel).
Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
7. Serve & Enjoy
Slice and serve chilled.
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or top with extra whipped cream and strawberries!
