Scale
For the Sponge Cake:
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
For the Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
For Decoration:
- Additional whipped cream for piping

Instructions
- Make the Sponge Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar with an electric mixer for about 5 minutes, until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix to combine.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until fully combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake is lightly golden and springs back when touched.
- Roll the Cake:
- While the cake is still warm, place it on a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
- Gently roll the cake (with the towel) from one short end to the other. Let it cool completely while rolled.
- Make the Whipped Cream Filling:
- In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble the Cake:
- Unroll the cooled cake carefully.
- Spread a layer of strawberry jam over the cake, then spread the whipped cream evenly on top.
- Arrange the sliced fresh strawberries across the whipped cream.
- Gently roll the cake back up, using the towel to guide it, but without rolling the towel inside this time.
- Decorate:
- Pipe additional whipped cream on top of the roll.
- Garnish with whole fresh strawberries and drizzle with strawberry jam.
- Serve:
- Slice and enjoy this beautiful and delicious strawberry Swiss roll cake!
Notes
- Ensure your heavy whipping cream is very cold before whipping for the best results.
- Dust the towel with powdered sugar to prevent the cake from sticking while rolling.
