🧁 Instructions:
- Make the Cake:
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray (approx. 10×15 inch) with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, beat eggs and sugar together for 5–7 minutes until pale and fluffy.
- Add vanilla, oil, milk, food coloring, and mashed strawberries. Mix gently.
- Sift in flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold gently until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the tray and spread evenly. Tap gently to remove air bubbles.
- Bake for 12–14 minutes or until the cake springs back when touched.
- While warm, turn the cake onto a kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off parchment paper and roll it up with the towel (from the short side). Let it cool rolled.
- Make the Filling:
- In a cold bowl, beat heavy cream until soft peaks.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla (and cream cheese if using). Beat until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble the Roll:
- Unroll the cooled cake gently.
- Spread the cream filling evenly.
- Re-roll the cake (without the towel) tightly.
- Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1–2 hours.
- Decorate:
- Drizzle melted white chocolate or cream cheese glaze over the roll.
- Sprinkle with cookie crumbs.
- Top with halved fresh strawberries.
