Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Fresh Strawberries
  • 1 cup Flour
  • ½ cup Milk
  • ¾ cup Sugar
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese
  • 1 cup Whipped Cream

Method
 

  1. Prep the Strawberries: Start by washing and slicing the fresh strawberries. Set them aside to let their natural sweetness shine while you prepare the cake.
  2. Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and milk. Stir gently until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. This is the base of your ethereal cake!
  3. Bake the Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter into a greased baking sheet and spread evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Cool the Cake: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, gently transfer it onto a clean kitchen towel. This step is crucial to prevent cracking when rolling!
  5. Roll the Cake: With the kitchen towel, carefully roll the cake while it's still warm. Starting from one edge, roll it tightly and let it cool completely in this shape.
  6. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. You can sweeten it with a little sugar for extra flavor, if desired.
  7. Unroll & Fill: Once cooled, gently unroll the cake. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the entire surface and sprinkle the sliced strawberries on top.
  8. Re-roll the Cake: Carefully roll the cake back up, this time without the towel. Place it seam-side down on a serving platter.
  9. Chill: For best results, refrigerate the roll cake for at least 2 hours. This helps it set beautifully and makes for easier slicing later.

Notes

  • Cooling is Key: Allow the cake to cool completely before rolling to prevent cracks that can ruin your beautiful presentation.
  • Perfect Consistency: Adjust the heavy cream to achieve a light and fluffy frosting; it should be thick enough to spread smoothly without being too stiff.
  • Chill for Success: For the best rolling technique, chill the cake for at least 2 hours (or overnight) after baking to enhance the texture and prevent cracking.
  • Choose Ripe Strawberries: Use fresh, ripe strawberries with the right balance of sweetness and acidity for the best flavor in your Strawberry Roll Cake Recipe.
  • Gentle Handling: When rolling the cake, be gentle yet firm to maintain its shape and structure; remember, a delicate touch goes a long way!
