Equipment
- Electric Mixer
- Baking Tray
- Parchment Paper
- Spatula
- Sieve
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs at room temperature
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour sifted
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream chilled
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 pint fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- Separate the egg whites and yolks. In a clean bowl, whip egg whites with the electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add in sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, gently beat the yolks with vanilla, then fold into the whipped egg whites carefully, trying not to deflate them.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt, then gently fold into the egg mixture. Pour the batter into the prepared tray, smoothing it out evenly.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched. Once baked, turn the cake out onto a clean, damp kitchen towel, peeling away parchment paper and rolling it up with the towel. Let cool completely.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form, then add mascarpone and powdered sugar and whip until smooth.
- Unroll the cake, spread with the mascarpone cream, and add a layer of strawberries. Roll the cake back up gently without the towel.
- Transfer the roll to a serving platter and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a zesty twist, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the mascarpone cream.
- Replace strawberries with your favorite seasonal berries for variety.
