Strawberry Swiss Roll Cake

A light and fluffy sponge cake rolled with whipped cream and fresh strawberries, perfect for spring and summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/3 cup confectioner's sugar, for dusting
  • 1 1/2 cups (about 200g) fresh strawberries, finely diced
  • 1 1/2 cups (360ml) heavy cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 13×18 inch (33×45 cm) baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease if needed.
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on high speed for 8-10 minutes until thick, pale, and tripled in volume.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Sift the flour mixture into the egg mixture in three batches, gently folding after each addition until just combined and no flour pockets remain.
  4. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly with a spatula, reaching the corners.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  6. While the cake bakes, prepare the filling: In a large bowl, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Fold in diced strawberries.
  7. Once the cake is done, immediately turn it out onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with confectioner's sugar. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
  8. Starting from a short end, roll the cake up in the towel and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. Once cooled, unroll the cake, spread the strawberry whipped cream filling evenly, then carefully re-roll. Dust with additional confectioner's sugar before serving.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature eggs and cold heavy cream. Roll the cake while still warm to prevent cracking. Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
