🧁 How to Make Strawberry Swiss Roll Cake (Step-by-Step)
🥄 Step 1: Make the Sponge
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- Beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale (~5 mins). Add vanilla.
- Gently fold in sifted flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Pour into pan and smooth evenly.
- Bake for 10–12 mins, until the top springs back when touched.
🌬 Step 2: Roll the Cake
- Immediately turn the hot cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
- Peel off parchment paper.
- Roll the cake with the towel and let it cool completely.
🍓 Step 3: Whip & Fill
- Beat cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
- Gently unroll the cake, spread with whipped cream and strawberry pieces (add jam if using), then roll it back up tightly.
❄️ Step 4: Chill & Serve
Wrap in plastic and chill for 30–60 mins before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar or decorate with extra strawberries!
💡 Tips for the Best Strawberry Swiss Roll Cake
- Don’t overbake the sponge or it’ll crack when rolled.
- Roll the cake while it’s warm, not hot or cold.
- For cleaner cuts, use a serrated knife and wipe between slices.
- Add a thin layer of strawberry jam for a tangy boost.
- Want more berry vibes? Mix in blueberries or raspberries too!
