Ingredients
Roll
- 120g flour (1 cup)
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 5 eggs
- pinch of salt
- 120g powdered sugar (1 cup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling
- 150g strawberries (1 cup)
- 250ml heavy cream (1 cup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 30g powdered sugar (1/4 cup)
Berry Sauce
- 160g fresh strawberries (1 cup)
- 125g fresh raspberries (1 cup)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 2–4 tablespoons water
Instructions
Berry Sauce
- Combine all ingredients in your blender and blend until smooth. Add more water if necessary, until you reached the desired consistency.
Strawberry Roll
- Preheat your oven to 200C or 400F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Sift flour and baking powder in a bowl and stir with a whisk until well combined.
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks and beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt and 1/3 of the powdered sugar for about 5 minutes or until stiff peaks form with a handmixer mixer.
- In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks, vanilla and rest of the powdered sugar and beat until pale for about 2 minutes. Add in the flour mixture and fold under with a whisk until well incorporated.
- Fold the egg whites into the batter until well incorporated. Be careful not to overwork the batter!
- Spread the batter onto the parchment paper, making sure it is evenly distributed on the baking tray. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
- In the meantime, prepare a kitchen towel by dampening it and sprinkling it with a bit of powdered sugar. Cut the strawberries into small pieces and set aside.
- Flip the hot roll onto the damp kitchen towel, removing the parchment paper. Roll it tightly and let it cool completely.
- To prepare the filling, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Then add in the powdered sugar and vanilla and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Fill the roll with the whipped cream, add the strawberries and roll it up lengthwise. Cut off both ends with a serrated knife.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar shortly before serving. Serve with berry sauce.
Notes
Store the roll in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days.
