Strawberry Swiss Roll Delight (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Cake

01 - 4 large eggs
02 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
03 - ½ cup granulated sugar
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
06 - ¼ teaspoon salt
07 - Powdered sugar for dusting

→ Strawberry Filling

08 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
09 - ¾ cup heavy cream
10 - 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
11 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 15×10-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium-high speed for about 5 minutes, until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
03 - Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together into a separate bowl.
04 - Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the egg mixture, being careful not to deflate the batter. Add the vanilla extract and mix gently.
05 - Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly.
06 - Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake is golden and springs back when touched lightly.
07 - Remove the cake from the oven and immediately invert it onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off the parchment paper. Allow the cake to cool for 15 minutes.
08 - In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
09 - Chop the fresh strawberries into small pieces. Gently fold them into the whipped cream, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
10 - Once the cake has cooled slightly, carefully roll it up from one short end, using the towel to help. Leave the towel in place while rolling, but be sure to remove it once the cake is rolled.
11 - Unroll the cake and spread the strawberry filling evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
12 - Gently roll the cake back up, making sure the filling stays inside the roll.
13 - Before serving, dust the top of the Swiss Roll with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.
14 - Slice the Swiss Roll into 1-inch thick pieces and serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.

# Notes:

01 - Chill the Swiss Roll in the refrigerator for up to an hour to enhance the flavor and make slicing easier.
