Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting towel)
  • 1 cup strawberry jam or preserves
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar (for whipped cream)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for whipped cream)
  • Fresh strawberries, sliced (optional for filling and garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs for 3–5 minutes until thick and pale. Gradually add granulated sugar and vanilla; beat until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold into egg mixture until just combined.
  4. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched.
  5. Dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar. Turn hot cake onto towel and carefully peel off parchment paper.
  6. Starting from a short side, roll the cake and towel together into a log. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. Meanwhile, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
  8. Unroll cooled cake. Spread with a thin layer of strawberry jam, then whipped cream. Add sliced strawberries if desired.
  9. Carefully re-roll cake without the towel. Trim ends for a clean look.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar or garnish with more whipped cream and strawberries before serving.

Notes

  • Roll the cake while it’s still warm to prevent cracking.
  • Cake can be made a day in advance and stored refrigerated, wrapped well.
  • For a firmer filling, stabilize whipped cream with a bit of gelatin or cream cheese.
  • Use a serrated knife to slice for cleaner pieces.
