Strawberry Roll


This is by far my favorite dessert. I have made about 12 rolls since strawberries have come out this season. Plus it's just a pretty dessert as well.

*I usually one and a half the recipe to make a good thick cake.

4 egg yolks (the more eggs, the fluffier it will be, so when I 1 1/2 it, I use 8 eggs)
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
4 egg whites
1/2 c. sugar
3/4 c. flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 cartons strawberries
1 pint heavy whipping cream

Beat egg whites until soft peaks form, add 1/2 cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.

Beat egg yolks until lemon color, add 1/4 c sugar and vanilla and beat.

Fold yolks into whites....softly.

Sift together flour, baking powder and salt then fold into egg mixture carefully so as not to break down the egg mixture.

Grease and flour cookie sheet (or use Pam for baking, it works GREAT!!!), spread dough carefully and evenly.

Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes

Sprinkle powdered sugar on dish towel. When Cake comes out of oven, place cake on towel and roll. Let cool completely.

Clean and slice strawberries and whip cream with powdered sugar and vanilla to taste.

Spread whipped cream on cake and put lots of strawberries on cream. Roll and frost with cream and decorate with strawberry halves.

YUM!
