Ingredients
- ⅓ cup hot water
- ¼ cup cold water
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup confectioners’ sugar for dusting (Optional)
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar, for dusting (Optional)
- 3 eggs
Directions
Step 1:Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a baking dish. Line with buttered foil or buttered parchment paper.
Step 2:Beat the eggs until they’re thick and lemon yellow. Gradually add 1 cup white sugar, beating constantly. Stir in the water and vanilla extract. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Pour the batter into the prepared mold.
Step 3:Bake until the cake is elastic to the touch and begins to pull away from the sides of the tin, about 15 minutes.
Step 4:Lay out a tea towel and sprinkle with icing sugar. Turn the cake out onto the towel. Peel off the paper or foil. Trim off any crusty edges with kitchen scissors or a sharp paring knife. Roll the cake in the towel and leave it to cool.
Step 5:Mix the gelatine with the cold water in a microwave-safe bowl and set aside. Wash and hull the strawberries; if they’re large, you can halve them or cut them into pieces. Melt the gelatine in the microwave, checking every 15 seconds. Pour the gelatine and 1 tablespoon of sugar over the strawberries.
Step 6:Whip the cream to medium stiff peaks. Fold into the cooled strawberry mixture. Unroll the cake, spread it with strawberry cream, and roll it up again. Chill the cake for at least 1 hour.
Step 7:Before serving, dust the cake with icing sugar or garnish with additional whipped cream.
