Strawberry Cake Roll

Strawberry cake roll is one of those desserts that impresses your friends when they come over. The cake is made in three steps. First, the vanilla cake, second, sweeten the strawberries a little, and third, make the whipped cream. Then, just put them all together into a cake roll; It really looks fantastic, but even better, this cake tastes as good as it looks!

Seems like strawberries and whipped cream have always gone together, and piling these two ingredients onto a soft cake makes them even better. You always get that great vanilla cake flavor with the fruity strawberries and irresistible creaminess of whipped cream; a hard to beat combination.

Ingredients for the cake:

There are 7 ingredients in this cake: eggs, sugar, water, flour, vanilla, baking powder, and salt; Ingredients that we usually have on hand.

When the cake comes out of the oven, turn onto a tea towel that you dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off the parchment paper slowly, so that it doesn't pull the cake apart. You wouldn't want that!
