  • Total Time: 2 hours 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

– 4 egg whites at room temperature

– 1 cup granulated sugar, divided

– 5 egg yolks at room temperature

– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

– 3 tablespoons whole milk

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

– 1 tablespoon lemon zest

– 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)

– 2 tablespoons cornstarch

– 1 teaspoon baking powder

– 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

– 1 pound strawberries, washed, hulled, and sliced

– 1 tablespoon sugar

– 1 tablespoon lemon zest

– 1 cup heavy whipping cream

– 1 tablespoon sour cream

– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

– 1/4 cup powdered sugar, plus more for dusting

Instructions

1-First Step: Preheat oven to 350Β°F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick baking spray, line with parchment paper, and grease the parchment with butter.

2-Second Step: Beat egg whites in a medium bowl on medium-high speed until soft peaks form (1-2 minutes). Add 1/3 cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form (1-2 more minutes). Set aside.

3-Third Step: In another medium bowl, whisk egg yolks, 2/3 cup sugar, oil, milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.

4-Fourth Step: In a small bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients just until combined.

5-Fifth Step: Fold egg whites gently into the batter until fully incorporated. Stop as soon as you see no streaks so you don’t deflate the foam.

6-Sixth Step: Pour batter onto prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until the top is lightly browned.

7-Seventh Step: Let cake cool completely. This is the make-or-break moment. If you roll warm cake, it can crack and tear.

8-Eighth Step: For the filling, combine strawberries with 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon zest. Let sit to release juices.

9-Ninth Step: Beat heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup powdered sugar, then beat until stiff peaks form.

10-Tenth Step: Spread whipped cream on cooled cake, leaving a 1-inch border around edges, then scatter strawberries on top.

11-Eleventh Step: Starting at the short end, roll the cake gently, allowing parchment to fall away as you roll. Go slow, and keep the pressure light.

12-Twelfth Step: Place seam side down and dust with powdered sugar if desired.

13-Final Step: Slice and serve. For clean slices, wipe your knife between cuts if needed.
