- Baking Paper
Lining your trays with baking paper ensures your cake layers don't stick. It also makes cleanup a breeze!

For a truly spectacular presentation, plate each roll with a drizzle of strawberry syrup and a dollop of whipped cream on the side. Add a few fresh berries and mint leaves for a pop of color ✨.

For a casual gathering, simply slice the rolls and let everyone help themselves. Pair with a glass of chilled lemonade or iced tea for the ultimate summer refreshment 🍋🍹.

Variations
Gluten-Free and Vegan Variations
Yes, you can still enjoy these delightful rolls even with dietary restrictions! 🌱💚
Gluten-Free Variation:
Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Double-check your baking powder to ensure it's gluten-free as well.
Vegan Variation:
Replace the egg yolks and egg whites with aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas). For the cream, use dairy-free cream cheese, coconut cream instead of heavy cream, and a vegan berry yogurt. Ensure your sugar is vegan-friendly!
Faq
- What if I don't have an electric mixer?
You can use a whisk, but it will take longer to achieve stiff peaks for the egg whites. Arm workout bonus! 💪
- Can I use other types of berries?
Absolutely! This recipe works well with raspberries, blueberries, and even mixed berries. Experiment with your favorite combinations.
- How do I prevent the cake from cracking when rolling?
Make sure your cake is completely cooled before you start rolling. Rolling the cake slowly and gently also helps a lot.
- Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
The rolls can be made a day in advance. Just be sure to store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They'll stay fresh and delicious!
- How can I make the cream more stable?
Adding a teaspoon of cornstarch to the cream mixture can help it hold its shape better, especially if you plan to make these for an outdoor event.
- What’s the best way to cut the rolls neatly?
Use a sharp knife and clean it between each slice. This will keep the presentation tidy and professional-looking.
