Ingredients:

For the Sponge Cake:

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

For the Strawberry Filling:

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy cream, whipped

Instructions:

Make the Sponge Cake:

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk egg whites: In a large bowl, whisk egg whites with salt until stiff peaks form.
  3. Beat egg yolks: In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gently fold the flour and baking powder into the egg yolk mixture.
  5. Combine mixtures: Carefully fold the egg white mixture into the batter until just combined.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. Cool and roll: Immediately remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Carefully peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake up in a clean kitchen towel. Let it cool completely.

Make the Strawberry Filling:

  1. Combine ingredients: In a saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries are softened and the mixture is thickened.
  2. Cool: Let the mixture cool completely.
  3. Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold the cooled strawberry mixture into the whipped cream.

Assemble the Roll Cake:

  1. Unroll the cake: Unroll the cooled cake and spread the strawberry filling evenly over the surface.
  2. Reroll the cake: Carefully roll the cake back up, using the kitchen towel to help you.
  3. Chill: Refrigerate the roll cake for at least 2 hours to set.
  4. Slice and serve: Dust with powdered sugar and slice to serve.
