👨🍳Instructions
1. Prepare the tray
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
Line a rectangular Swiss roll pan or baking tray with parchment paper.
Lightly grease the paper.
2. Make the sponge batter
Beat eggs and sugar for 5–7 minutes until pale, thick, and fluffy.
Add milk, oil, and vanilla extract.
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together.
Fold dry ingredients gently into the egg mixture until smooth.
3. Bake
Pour batter into the tray and spread evenly.
Tap tray lightly to remove air bubbles.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden and springy.
4. Roll while warm
Lay a clean kitchen towel on the counter and dust lightly with powdered sugar.
Turn the warm cake onto the towel and peel away parchment paper.
Roll the sponge gently with the towel from the short side.
Allow to cool completely.
5. Prepare the filling
Whip cold cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
6. Fill the cake
Carefully unroll the cooled sponge.
Spread whipped cream evenly across the cake.
Arrange sliced strawberries in a line across the center.
7. Roll and chill
Roll the cake back tightly without the towel.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes to help it set.
8. Frost and decorate
Cover the outside with whipped cream.
Use a spatula or fork to create textured lines.
Decorate with fresh strawberries and dust lightly with powdered sugar.
9. Slice and serve
Chill for another 30 minutes before slicing.
Cut with a sharp knife for neat spiral slices.
