Time 2h30m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 eggs
1 cup white sugar
⅓ cup hot water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup confectioners' sugar for dusting
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
¼ cup cold water
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
1 cup fresh strawberries
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a jelly roll pan. Line it with buttered foil or buttered parchment paper.
  • Beat the eggs until thick and lemon colored. Gradually add 1 cup white sugar, beating constantly. Stir in water and vanilla extract. Fold in flour, baking powder, and salt. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake until cake is springy to the touch and beginning to shrink away from the sides of the pan, about 15 minutes.
  • Lay out a tea towel, and sprinkle it with confectioners' sugar. Turn the cake out on the towel. Peel off the paper or foil. Cut away crusty edges with kitchen shears or a sharp paring knife. Roll the cake up in the towel, and leave it to cool.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and set aside. Wash and hull the strawberries; if they're large, you may halve or chop them. Melt gelatin in microwave, checking every 15 seconds. Pour gelatin and 1 tablespoon sugar over strawberries.
  • Whip the cream to medium-stiff peaks. Fold in cooled strawberry mixture. Unroll the cake, spread with the strawberry cream, and roll up again. Chill cake for at least 1 hour.
  • Before serving, dust cake with confectioners' sugar or top with additional whipped cream.
