Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup whole milk (60ml)
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (95g)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese (225g), cold
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream (360ml), cold
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar (40g)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, halved
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Extra whipped cream for decorating
- Fresh strawberries for decorating
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- Beat the eggs and sugar together for about 5 minutes until pale, fluffy, and doubled in volume.
- Mix in the vanilla and milk. Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold until combined and smooth without deflating the batter.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 10–12 minutes, until lightly golden and springy to the touch.
- Roll the sponge cake up in a clean kitchen towel dusted lightly with powdered sugar. Let it cool completely.
- Toss the strawberries with sugar and lemon juice. Let them sit for 10 minutes to become glossy and juicy.
- Beat the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until thick, smooth, and fluffy.
- Unroll the cooled cake and spread a thick layer of mascarpone cream over the surface. Arrange strawberries evenly across the cake.
- Roll the cake back up tightly and transfer to a serving platter seam-side down. Frost the outside with remaining mascarpone cream and decorate with whipped cream swirls, fresh strawberries, mint leaves, and a light dusting of powdered sugar.
- Chill for at least 1 hour before slicing for clean, beautiful swirls. Serve cold for the creamiest texture and freshest strawberry flavor.
