Here are other strawberry desserts not to be missed:
To prepare the strawberry roll, start with the sponge cake: pour the eggs and vanilla extract into the bowl of a mixer with whisks 1. Turn on the machine and slowly add the sugar. Work for about 10 minutes until you get a fluffy, light, and frothy mixture 3.
Add the flour by sifting it directly into the bowl 4 and gently mix with a spatula from bottom to top to incorporate it 5. Butter and line a 12x16 inch baking tray with parchment paper. Then pour the batter into the tray 6.
Level the surface with a spatula 7 and bake in a preheated static oven at 425°F for 8-10 minutes until the surface is golden and the batter is cooked 8. Clearly, adjust according to your oven, it could take fewer minutes or a lower temperature if very powerful. In the meantime, prepare a sheet of parchment paper and place it on the counter. As soon as you take the sponge cake out of the oven, you will need to flip it onto the parchment paper sheet 9, in this way it will remain moist.
Let it cool slightly before very gently removing the parchment paper sheet 10. Then cover it again with the parchment paper sheet and let it cool completely 11. Now wash the strawberries and remove the stem 12.
Cut them first into slices and then into cubes 13. Pour the cold fresh cream into a bowl; start whipping with electric whisks and slowly add the powdered sugar 14. Continue until you get firm, but not overly whipped, cream 15.
Once the sponge cake is completely cool, remove the parchment paper and fill it with the whipped cream. Use a spatula to spread it well over the entire surface 16. Sprinkle the strawberries on top 17 and, lifting the parchment paper, roll the cake from the shorter side 18.
Roll it gently 19 and make sure the seam of the roll is facing down 20. Wrap it again in the parchment paper 20 and transfer it to the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Then take the roll and unwrap it 21.
Dust with powdered sugar 22, if necessary, trim it 23, then cut it into slices and serve it 24!
