A light and fluffy sponge cake rolled with sweet strawberry whipped cream, creating a beautiful spiral dessert that is fresh, soft, and perfect for celebrations or afternoon treats.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 80 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- Extra powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 10×15-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until thick, pale, and tripled in volume.
- Mix in the vanilla extract, vegetable oil, and milk until fully combined.
- Sift together the flour and baking powder, then gently fold them into the egg mixture until smooth.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 10–12 minutes until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Place a clean kitchen towel on the counter and dust it with powdered sugar. Turn the warm cake onto the towel and carefully peel off the parchment paper.
- Roll the cake gently with the towel from the short side and allow it to cool completely.
- In a bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Fold in the chopped strawberries.
- Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the strawberry cream evenly over the surface.
- Roll the cake back up tightly, place seam-side down, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving and slice into portions.
Notes
- Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for better volume when whipping.
- Do not overbake the sponge to keep it soft and easy to roll.
- You can substitute strawberries with raspberries or mixed berries.
- Store the cake refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Chill the bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results.
