    This Strawberry Shortcake Cake Roll is a simple but fun vanilla cake filled with whipped cream and fresh strawberries.

    This post is sponsored in conjunction with #SpringSweetsWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to help in the creation of the #SpringSweetsWeek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.

    Strawberry Shortcake Cake Roll is a special but simple dessert.

    I have wanted to make a decorated cake roll since I first saw one years ago. And when Spring Sweets Week came around I knew it was finally going to happen.

    You can skip this step and just leave the outside plain. But it is fun and easy to do. All I did was

    1. print two pages of designs (use any design you choose)
    2. put them on the pan
    3. put a layer of parchment paper over it
    4. add a drop of food coloring to a few tablespoons of batter
    5. spoon the batter on the parchment paper covered design
    6. freeze then remove paper
    7. spread the remaining batter GENTLY over the frozen design
    8. bake and fill as usual

    Made Special with Dixie Crystals

    Dixie Crystals® has been the South’s choice for high-quality sugar and sweeteners. Our pure cane sugar products are all natural, non-GMO and provide consistently delicious results.  

    Pure cane sugar is all that I allow in my house. Besides being non-GMO, I believe it works better in all recipes. I had one too many failures with beet sugar decades ago hence the ban. I used Dixie Crystals granulated sugar in the cake and their powdered sugar in the whipped cream filling.

    Strawberry Shortcake Cake Roll

    Print Recipe Pin Recipe

    Ingredients
     

    • 4 large eggs ((separated))
    • ¾ cup sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ¾ cup all purpose flour ((sift before measuring))
    • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ cup powdered sugar ((plus more for decorating if desired))
    • 1 cup heaving whipping cream
    • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar ((more or less to taste))
    • 1 cup fresh strawberries (sliced or chopped as desired)

    Instructions
     

    • Line a jelly roll pan (10.5 x 15.5 x 1 inch) with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
    • Separate the eggs into two mixing bowls
    • Lightly beat the yolks. Add the sugar gradually and beat until creamy. Mix in vanilla.
    • Resift the flour with the baking powder and salt into the egg yolk mixture. Mix until smooth.
    • Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form (the mountain formed after removing the batter stands up straight and does not fall over).
    • Gently fold the egg whites into the batter. Pour into parchment lined jelly roll pan.
    • Bake at 375 degrees for about 12-13 minutes. Remove from oven.
    • Immediately loosen the edges of the cake. Place a clean kitchen towel on top of a cooling rack and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Invert the towel and rack on top of the cake and then flip the cake on to the towel and remove the pan.
      Remove parchment paper. Roll the cake with the towel into a relatively tight roll. Let cool.
    • While cake is cooling, in a mixing bowl, beat whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Sweeten with powdered sugar to taste. Slice or dice strawberries
    • Unroll the cooled cake, spread whipped cream on top to within ½ inch of the edge to prevent oozing when rolled. Sprinkle with strawberries. Reroll and place seam side down on a serving plate.
    • OPTIONAL: Dust with additional powdered sugar or more whipped cream and strawberries.

    Notes

    To decorate the cake as in the photo, after preparing the batter:
    1. print two pages of "dots" (use any design you choose)
    2. put them on the pan
    3. put a layer of parchment paper over it
    4. add a few drops of food coloring to a little bit of the batter
    5. spoon on some batter on the parchment paper covered dots
    6. remove the paper from under the parchment
    7. freeze
    8. spread the remaining batter GENTLY over the frozen design
    9. bake and fill as instructed
