This strawberry roll is ideal for that special ending to a special luncheon. Decorate this jelly roll with crystallized violets, if desired. A few fresh violet leaves on top also may be used.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/3 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 (Optional)
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- ¼ cup cold water
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, for dusting (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a jelly roll pan. Line it with buttered foil or buttered parchment paper.
Step 2
Beat 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 the prepared pan.
Step 3
Bake until cake is springy to the touch and beginning to shrink away from the sides of the pan, about 15 minutes.
Step 4
Lay out a tea towel, and sprinkle it with confectioners' sugar. Turn cake out on the towel. Peel off the paper or foil. Cut crusty edges with kitchen shears or a sharp paring knife. Roll cake up in the towel, and leave it to cool.
Step 5
In a microwave-safe bowl, sprinkle gelatin over the cold water and set aside. Wash and hull strawberries; if they're large, you may halve or chop them. Melt gelatin in the microwave, checking every 15 seconds. Pour gelatin and 1 tablespoon sugar over strawberries.
Step 6
Whip cream to medium-stiff peaks. Fold in cooled strawberry mixture. Unroll cake, spread with strawberry cream, and roll up again. Chill cake for at least 1 hour.
Step 7
Before serving, dust cake with confectioners' sugar or top with additional whipped cream.
