Ingredients
  

  • 4 eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar for dusting
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 1 cup sliced strawberries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  • While the cake is still warm, sprinkle powdered sugar on top.
  • Invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel. Carefully roll it up from one short end to the other and let it cool completely.
  • Once cooled, unroll the cake and spread a layer of whipped cream evenly over the surface. Top with sliced strawberries.
  • Roll the cake back up (without the towel) and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to set.
  • Slice the cake into portions and enjoy your delicious strawberry birthday cake roll!

Notes

How to Serve Strawberry Birthday Cake Roll
Serve this cake roll chilled as a refreshing dessert after a meal. You can dust it with extra powdered sugar or add more fresh strawberries on top for an extra touch. It pairs nicely with a scoop of vanilla ice cream as well.
How to Store Strawberry Birthday Cake Roll
Store any leftover cake roll in the refrigerator, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container. It will keep for about 3 days, but it’s best enjoyed fresh to maintain its texture.
Tips to Make Strawberry Birthday Cake Roll
  • Make sure the eggs are at room temperature for better fluffiness.
  • Do not overmix the batter; gently fold it to keep it light.
  • Roll the cake tightly in the towel when cooling to maintain its shape.
Variation
You can change up the filling by using a mix of different berries or even adding a layer of cream cheese frosting. For a chocolate twist, consider adding cocoa powder to the batter!
