Easy Strawberry Cake Roll Recipe
Description
The cake batter is prepared by beating eggs with sugar until voluminous, then gently folding in flour. The thin batter is spread on a lined sheet and baked until just set. While warm, the cake is rolled with a towel to create its shape and cooled. Unrolled again, it is spread with blended strawberry puree, followed by a rich cream made by mixing cream cheese with sugar and folding in whipped cream for lightness.
Diced strawberries sprinkled on the cream add bursts of fresh flavor and subtle texture contrast. The cake is re-rolled into a log shape and chilled before serving, resulting in a soft and moist sponge roll with fruity and creamy layers inside.
The recipe yields a vibrant strawberry dessert suitable for celebrations or a sweet treat. The layering and rolling technique builds both flavor and visual interest.
Ingredients
- 6 egg
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup strawberries (blended into smooth mixture)
- 1 cup strawberried (diced into small pieces)
Cake Frosting
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (very cold)
- 1/2 cup sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Beat the eggs together with the sugar until it doubles in volume.
- Add the flour to the egg mixture in thirds. Fold gently with each addition until combined. Be careful to not overmix the batter.
- Spread the cake batter onto a lined baking sheet. 10" X 15" is the perfect size. Bake for 12 minutes.
- Remove the cake from the oven and place a kitchen towel over the cake. Roll up the shorter side, making it into a long roll. Let the roll cool to room temperature. Gently remove the towel and parchment paper.
- Unroll the cake and spread the blended strawberries over the cake. Let the mixture soak for a few minutes while you make the cream.
- To make the cake cream, beat the softened cream cheese with the sugar. Beat until the mixture is smooth and has no lumps. Add the cold whipping cream to the cream cheese mixture and beat until the cream is firm.
- Spread a layer of cream over the cake and sprinkle with some of the diced strawberries.
- Roll the cake back into a roll. Decorate the cake with some powdered sugar, diced strawberries or more cream. Keep it refrigerated until serving.
