Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (unbleached)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup fresh strawberries or blueberries (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale (about 5 minutes).
- Gently fold in sifted flour and vanilla extract until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Turn the cake onto powdered sugar-dusted parchment paper and roll it up while warm to maintain its shape.
- For the filling, beat cold heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, then fold in chopped berries.
- Unroll the cooled cake, spread whipped cream filling evenly, sprinkle with berries, then re-roll without parchment.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour before slicing.
