Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until stiff peaks form.
  2. Lay out a piece of parchment paper or sushi mat. Place thin slices of pound cake side by side to create a rectangle.
  3. Flatten the assembled cake layers with a rolling pin to create a uniform structure.
  4. Spread a thin layer of strawberry jam over the flattened cake, if desired.
  5. Spoon the whipped cream onto the jam layer and spread it evenly.
  6. Sprinkle diced fresh strawberries along one edge of the whipped cream.
  7. Roll the cake carefully away from the edge filled with strawberries, keeping it tight.
  8. Wrap the rolled cake in parchment paper or sushi mat and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  9. Unwrap the roll and slice it into bite-sized pieces. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
