There are plenty of strawberry patches near my hometown, and soon they'll be brimming with red berries. I discovered this recipe a few summers ago and have made it often. Believe me, it tastes as good as it looks!

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup sifted cake flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Confectioners' sugar
  • CREAM FILLING:
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, cut up
  • Additional whole strawberries
  • Whipped cream, optional

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°. Line a 15x10x1-in. baking pan with parchment or waxed paper; grease paper and set aside. In a large bowl, beat eggs with vanilla on high speed with an electric mixer for 5 minutes or until lemon-colored. Gradually add sugar, beating until dissolved.
  2. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; fold gently into egg mixture just until combined. Pour into prepared pan; spread batter evenly.
  3. Bake until light brown, 10-12 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes. Turn cake onto a kitchen towel dusted with confectioners' sugar. Gently peel off paper from cake; roll up cake in cloth jelly-roll style, starting with a short side. Cool completely on wire rack.
  4. For filling, whip cream, sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Unroll cake; spread filling evenly over cake to within 1/2-in. of edges. Sprinkle with strawberries. Roll up the cake again, without towel and chill 2 hours before serving. Just before serving, dust cake with confectioners' sugar and if desired, top with additional strawberries and sweetened whipped cream.
