Strawberry Swiss Roll


              My treat last week was something fresh and light. This Strawberry Swiss Roll is perfect for those
              times you want cake minus all the frosting. This is so light, you can eat for breakfast and you wont
              feel sluggish after.
           

         Strawberry Swiss Roll

         Cake Sponge ( recipe adapted here)
         2 eggs separated
         Cake Flour - 20g
         Baking Powder - 1/3 Tsp
         Salt - pinch
         Sugar - 35g
         Vanilla Extract - 1 Tsp
         Butter, melted - 14g
        Cream of Tartar - 1/4 Tsp



       Cream Filling
       1/2 cup whipping cream (  Whip cream and sugar until stiff peaks form.)
       1/4 cup icing sugar
       2 sliced strawberries

     


        I used a 15x10 inch cookie sheet which made the sponge super thin.

        Line the cookie sheet with parchment paper. Also prepare another parchment paper bigger than the
        cake pan over which we will turn the baked sponge later.Preheat oven to 370F.

        Beat egg yolks and sugar until the color becomes pale yellow. Add in vanilla, and then butter.
        Sift the flour,salt and baking soda over the yolk mixture and fold using rubber spatula. Set aside.

       Beat egg whites until frothy then add in the cream of tartar. Beat until stiff peaks form.
       Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk in three additions. Fold until uniform.
       Pour batter onto the cookie sheet and drop the pan twice to get rid of air bubbles.
       Bake for about 3-5 minutes or until a toothpick tester comes out clean. This bake pretty fast!
     
       Cool cake on a wire rack and when cool, turn over to another parchment paper and peel the bottom
       parchment paper. Turn cake over and spread whipped cream on top,then lay strawberry slices
       on top of cream.
       Start rolling the cake using the parchment paper to lift the side. Wrap the parchment paper into the
       rolled cake and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
       Cut both sides for presentation and serve.
