Ingredients
Scale
For the Cake:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Strawberry Filling:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and pale. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined. Add the milk and gently fold until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake is golden and springs back when touched.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the strawberry filling. In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat until the strawberries release their juices and the mixture thickens slightly. Allow to cool.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar and carefully invert the cake onto the towel. Remove the parchment paper.
- Spread the cooled strawberry mixture over the cake, then spread the whipped cream on top. Starting from one end, carefully roll the cake up with the help of the towel. Transfer to a serving plate.
- Dust with additional powdered sugar before serving, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
