Description
A delightful Strawberry Crunch Cake Roll filled with whipped cream and crushed strawberry cookies, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup crushed strawberry shortcake cookies (or any strawberry-flavored cookies)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the softened butter, buttermilk, eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until well combined.
- Gently fold in the pureed strawberries until evenly distributed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Carefully invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake up with the towel, starting from the short end. Allow it to cool completely in this rolled shape.
- While the cake cools, whip the heavy cream in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Once the cake is completely cool, unroll it gently and spread the whipped cream evenly over the surface. Sprinkle the crushed strawberry cookies on top of the whipped cream.
- Roll the cake back up without the towel, and place it seam-side down on a serving platter.
- Chill the cake roll in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before slicing.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half of the heavy cream with Greek yogurt.
- You can also add a layer of sliced fresh strawberries inside the roll for extra flavor and texture.
