👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Cake

Preheat oven to 170°C (340°F).
Line a rectangular Swiss roll pan with baking paper.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until thick, pale, and fluffy.

Add:

  • vegetable oil
  • milk
  • vanilla extract

Mix gently until combined.

Sift in:

  • flour
  • cocoa powder
  • baking powder
  • salt

Fold carefully until the batter is smooth and airy.

2️⃣ Bake the Sponge

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

Bake until the cake springs back lightly when touched.

Immediately turn the cake onto a clean sheet of parchment paper.
Carefully peel off the baking paper and gently roll the cake while still warm.

Allow it to cool completely.

3️⃣ Make the Strawberry Cream

Whip the cold cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft and fluffy.

Fold in the finely chopped strawberries.

4️⃣ Fill & Roll

Carefully unroll the cooled cake.

Spread the strawberry cream evenly over the surface, then roll the cake back tightly.

Chill for a short time to help it set.

5️⃣ Prepare the Chocolate Coating

Heat the fresh cream until warm (not boiling).

Pour it over the chopped dark chocolate and let sit for 1–2 minutes.

Stir until smooth, glossy, and silky.

Pour the chocolate coating over the Swiss roll and spread evenly.

6️⃣ Decorate

Drizzle with melted white chocolate and decorate with:

  • whipped cream
  • fresh strawberries
  • chocolate pieces

Chill until set.

🍰 Serve & Enjoy
