Ingredients
  

For the Sponge Cake
  • 4 large Eggs - room temperature
  • ⅔ cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup All-purpose flour - sifted
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 2 tablespoon Melted butter - folded in last
For the Cream Filling
  • 1½ cups Heavy whipping cream - chilled
  • ¼ cup Powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 4 oz Cream cheese - softened, optional for stability
For Assembly
  • 1½ cups Fresh strawberries - diced small
  • Extra strawberry slices - for garnish
  • Powdered sugar - for dusting
  • Chocolate sauce - for optional drizzle

Equipment

  • 1 10x15 inch jelly roll pan (for baking sponge cake)
  • 1 Hand mixer or stand mixer (for whipping eggs and cream)
  • 1 Parchment paper (line the pan)
  • 1 Clean Kitchen Towel (for rolling warm cake)
  • 1 Offset or rubber spatula (for spreading batter and cream)
  • 1 Sharp serrated knife (for slicing clean sushi pieces)

Method
 

  1. Beat eggs and sugar on high for 5–6 minutes until thick and pale. Add vanilla. Sift in flour, baking powder, and salt, then gently fold. Pour into pan and bake at 350°F for 12–15 minutes until lightly springy.
  2. Flip hot cake onto a powdered-sugar-dusted towel, peel off parchment, and roll up with towel inside while warm. Let cool completely 30–40 minutes.
  3. Beat cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form. Blend in softened cream cheese if using for thicker filling.
  4. Unroll cooled cake, spread whipped cream evenly, scatter diced strawberries, and roll back up tightly without towel. Wrap in plastic and chill 1 hour.
  5. Trim uneven ends, slice into 1-inch pieces with a clean serrated knife, and garnish with powdered sugar, strawberry slices, and optional chocolate drizzle.
