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 the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 10×15-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Beat the eggs and granulated sugar until thick, pale, and tripled in volume.
- Mix in vanilla extract, vegetable oil, and milk until combined.
- Sift together flour and baking powder, then gently fold into the batter until smooth.
- Spread batter evenly into the pan and bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly springy.
- Turn the warm cake onto a powdered sugar-dusted towel and peel off parchment paper.
- Roll the cake with the towel from the short side and let cool completely.
- Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form, then fold in chopped strawberries.
- Unroll the cooled cake and spread the strawberry cream evenly.
- Roll the cake back up tightly, place seam-side down, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Dust with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
Notes
Roll the cake while warm to prevent cracking.
Fresh strawberries are best, but thawed and well-drained frozen strawberries can be used.
Add a thin layer of strawberry jam for stronger flavor.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Let sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving for a softer texture.
