– 2/3 cup cake flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions for Making the Strawberry Cake Roll
For the Cake:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper.
2. Whip the Eggs: In a large bowl, beat the eggs on high speed for about 5 minutes until they’re thick and pale yellow.
3. Incorporate Sugar: Gradually add the granulated sugar, beating until the mixture is light and airy.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold this into the egg mixture until just combined.
5. Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
6. Spread the Batter: Evenly spread the batter into the prepared pan.
7. Bake the Cake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched lightly.
8. Roll the Cake: While hot, turn the cake onto a kitchen towel sprinkled with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake up in the towel from the short side. Allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
For the Filling:
1. Whip the Cream: In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
2. Assemble the Roll: Unroll the cooled cake gently. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the cake, leaving a ½-inch border on all sides.
3. Add Strawberries: Arrange the sliced strawberries over the whipped cream layer.
4. Roll and Chill: Roll the cake up tightly without the towel. Cover it and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld before serving.
