Here’s a recipe for a delicious strawberry Swiss roll:Ingredients:
For the cake:
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
For the filling:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- Additional powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on high speed until pale and thick, about 5 minutes.
- Beat in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix and deflate the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake is lightly golden and springs back when lightly touched.
- While the cake is baking, prepare a clean kitchen towel by laying it flat on the counter and dusting it generously with powdered sugar.
- When the cake is done, immediately invert it onto the prepared kitchen towel and carefully peel off the parchment paper.
- Starting at one of the short ends, gently roll the cake and towel together into a tight spiral. Let it cool completely while rolled up.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.
- Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the whipped cream evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the diced strawberries evenly over the whipped cream.
- Gently roll the cake back up, using the kitchen towel to help guide it if needed. Place the seam side down.
- Transfer the rolled cake to a serving platter and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to set.
- Before serving, dust the top of the Swiss roll with powdered sugar.
- Slice and serve your delicious strawberry Swiss roll, and enjoy!
