Name: Authentic German Strawberry Roll Recipe
Total time: 2 hrs 35 mins
Ingredients: 4 eggs, divided; 0.5 cup white sugar; 2 teaspoons vanilla sugar; 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar; 0.25 cup all-purpose flour; 0.5 teaspoon baking powder; 2 teaspoons white sugar; 0.75 cup heavy whipping cream; teaspoon vanilla sugar; 2 cups finely chopped strawberries; 0.5 cup whipping cream; 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar, or more to taste; 5 fresh strawberries, halved

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan by lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, mix together egg yolks, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat until the mixture becomes light and foamy.
In a separate glass, metal, or ceramic bowl, beat the egg whites until they become foamy. Gradually add confectioners' sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture.
Sift flour and baking powder over the stiff egg whites. Carefully fold all ingredients into the egg yolk mixture until well combined, being careful not to over mix. Evenly spread the batter onto the prepared jelly roll pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 16 minutes, or until the sponge cake is set and lightly browned to perfection.
Place a clean dish towel on a flat surface and sprinkle it with 2 teaspoons of sugar. Invert the baked sponge cake onto the sugared towel and carefully peel off the parchment paper. Roll the cake up tightly with the dish towel and let it cool completely for about 1 hour.
In a chilled glass or metal bowl, beat 3/4 cups of cream with an electric mixer until it becomes frothy. Gradually add vanilla sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the fresh strawberries using a spatula.
Carefully unroll the cooled sponge cake. Evenly spread the strawberry cream filling on top, leaving a small border on the edges. Gently roll the cake back up and place it seam-side down on a serving platter. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
In a chilled glass or metal bowl, beat 1/2 cup of cream with an electric mixer until frothy. Gradually add vanilla sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream all over the strawberry roll and garnish with fresh strawberry halves for an elegant finish.
