Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan by lining it with parchment paper, allowing an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a mixing bowl, blend the eggs and granulated sugar on high speed until pale and thick, for about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the vanilla extract.
  3. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together and gently fold them into the egg mixture with a spatula, preserving the airiness.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until it springs back when touched.
  5. Turn the warm cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar, peel away the parchment, and roll the cake up using the towel. Let it cool completely.
Filling and Assembly
  1. While the cake cools, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, then fold in the chopped strawberries.
  2. Unroll the cooled cake and spread the strawberry cream evenly across its surface. Re-roll the cake tightly without the towel.
  3. Chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving.
Serving
  1. Dust the roll cake with powdered sugar and garnish with extra strawberries or mint leaves if desired.
  2. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Wrap the roll cake in plastic wrap to maintain freshness for up to two days in the refrigerator. For best flavor, serve chilled.
