Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, lightly greased.
Prepare the Batter: Beat eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale. Add vanilla and milk, then fold in sifted flour, baking powder, and salt.
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the top springs back when touched.
Prepare the Towel: While baking, dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar.
Roll the Cake: Immediately after baking, turn the cake out onto the towel. Peel off parchment paper and roll the cake from the short side while it’s still warm. Let it cool completely.
Prepare the Whipped Cream: Whip heavy cream with confectioners’ sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Chill until ready to use.
Prepare the Strawberries: Slice strawberries and toss with lemon juice if desired.
Assemble the Roll: Unroll the cooled cake, spread whipped cream evenly over the surface, and scatter strawberries on top. Gently re-roll the cake and trim the ends for a clean look.
Chill and Serve: Dust with powdered sugar and chill for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Add a Layer of Jam: Spread a layer of strawberry jam for extra berry flavor.

Swap the Filling: Use mascarpone or cream cheese frosting for a tangy twist.

Chocolate Twist: Use chocolate sponge for a richer version.

Add Mixed Berries: Try raspberries, blueberries, or a mix of berries for variety.
