Strawberry Cake Roll

This Cake Roll is better made the day before it is served. The sauce enhances the flavor of the cake but dose not have to be included. I hope you try one of my Cake Roll recipes.

4 eggs, separated
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup sifted cake flour
3/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
BASIC FILLING:
1 cup heavy cream, or whipped topping
3 Tbs. sugar

1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen strawberries, drained
OR fresh strawberries, sliced
1/4 cup strawberry jam
1/4 cup light corn syrup

BASIC CAKE ROLL: Beat egg yolks until light and lemon-colored. Slowly add sugar, beating until creamy. Add vanilla; beat. Sift together flour and baking powder; gradually add to sugar mixture. Beat only until smooth. Whip egg whites with salt until stiff, but not dry. Fold into flour mixture. Spread batter evenly in greased jelly roll pan (10-inch x 15-inch) lined with heavily greased wax paper. Bake in 375 degree oven for 15 minutes, or until top springs back when lightly touched. Loosen cake edges at once; invert onto clean towel sprinkled with confectionery sugar. Cut off hard edges. Roll up, leaving towel in; cool. Un-roll; spread with filling and re-roll. Can be frozen for 6 months; filled rolls, up to 1 month.
