As you may now know about me, there is very few non-chocolate desserts that could actually win a competition against a chocolate one, but this strawberry cake roll is one of them (of course I would prefer having both…)! It tastes a lot like a strawberry shortcake. This is not too sweet and it’s the first recipe on this blog without butter, oil or grease!!! I wouldn’t say it’s healthy with all the heavy cream, but it’s healthier than a lot of desserts! It’s delicious, easy to do and cute! Enjoy!
Strawberry Cake Roll
For about 5 persons
Ingredients
4 eggs
¾ cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon water
About 10 strawberries (add more to taste)
2 cups heavy cream
¾ cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon water
About 10 strawberries (add more to taste)
2 cups heavy cream
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 17x11x1 inch pan and line with parchment paper.
2. Beat the eggs. Add the sugar while beating.
2. In a little bowl, sift the flour and the baking powder. Reserve.
3. Afterbeating for 2-3 minutes slowly add the flour and baking powder and mix with a spoon. When the batter is homogeneous, add the water. Combine slowly.
4. Pour the batter on the pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
5. Bake forabout 10 minutes. Don’t overbake because it will be hard to roll.
6. Whilethe cake is baking, whip the heavy cream. You can add sugar to taste, but it’svery good without it! Cut the strawberries into little pieces and mix with the heavy cream. Refrigerate.
7. Lay a waxed paper on your counter (or a clean kitchen towel). As soon as your cake is out of the oven take out the cake from the pan with the parchment paper, turn over on the waxed paper and remove the parchment paper, roll with the paper and let cool.
8. When the cake is completely cool, unroll then spread the heavy cream with the strawberries on the cake. Roll again and you’re done!
So beautiful!
I love strawberry shortcake and I've always been intrigued by the rolled cakes, so I'll definitely give this a shot once I can find a good basket of strawberries!
Thank you so much Rachel, you will surely like it! And you will see it's very easy!
Looks wonderful… gives me an idea for a strawberry-loving-boyfriend! Keep it up, Marjo !
Thanks Cat
Looks delicious!! But I wonder if it would be possible to use cream cheese instead of heavy whipping cream?? I LOVE cream cheese!!

Thank you so much Robyn!
How do you keep it from cracking when you roll it?
You have to roll it when it comes out of the oven, in another parchment paper or in a towel. If it cracks anyway, maybe it was overbake. Hope this helps!
Hi, this looks super yummy, I have just found your post on the decorated roll, and I totally need to try and make it with my mum, it looks like so much fun, are you able to give the reciepe out in grams at all? thank you so much
Thank you! I don’t have the recipe in grams sorry
Maybe an online converter will do the trick?
Ok thank you, I’m sure theres one out there
Hi, thanks so much for sharing your recipes. I tried this one and it tastes great but has a sticky texture. Is this the way it should be or have I made a mistake?
Thanks to you Jen for trying it
Hum, I think it did happen to me that the outside of the cake was sticky but not the entire cake, is it the case? If so I guess it’s ok, but if the entire cake is sticky, it’s not suppose to!
