German Strawberry Roll Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a jelly roll pan. Line it with buttered foil or buttered parchment paper.
• Beat the eggs until thick and lemon colored. Gradually add 1 cup white sugar, beating constantly. Stir in water and vanilla extract. Fold in flour, baking powder, and salt. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake until cake is springy to the touch and beginning to shrink away from the sides of the pan, about 15 minutes.
• Lay out a tea towel, and sprinkle it with confectioners' sugar. Turn the cake out on the towel. Peel off the paper or foil. Cut away crusty edges with kitchen shears or a sharp paring knife. Roll the cake up in the towel, and leave it to cool.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and set aside. Wash and hull the strawberries; if they're large, you may halve or chop them. Melt gelatin in microwave, checking every 15 seconds. Pour gelatin and 1 tablespoon sugar over strawberries.
• Whip the cream to medium-stiff peaks. Fold in cooled strawberry mixture. Unroll the cake, spread with the strawberry cream, and roll up again. Chill cake for at least 1 hour.
• Before serving, dust cake with confectioners' sugar or top with additional whipped cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a rimmed 10-by-15-inch baking sheet with cooking spray, then line with parchment paper; spray the parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk to combine the cake flour, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Set aside.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and forms thick ribbons when the whisk is pulled away. Whisk in the 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. With a rubber spatula, fold in the flour mixture until completely combined.
• Using a handheld mixer (or stand mixer) fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites in a large bowl until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes on medium-high speed. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until completely combined.
• Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread with an offset spatula or spoon to evenly cover the parchment. Bake until the cake is springy when touched, about 10 minutes.
• Dust a clean kitchen towel with the 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, turn the cake out onto the towel, and roll into a log. Let cool.
• Whip the cream, 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla into stiff peaks. Set aside for the filling and topping.
• To assemble, unroll the cake and spread the strawberry jam to cover the cake. Top with some of the whipped cream mixture, and then roll the cake into a log. Transfer to a serving plate, seam-side down, and top with the remaining whipped cream. Garnish with mint sprigs.

Steps:

• In a bowl, beat eggs with vanilla on high speed with an electric mixer for 5 minutes or until lemon-colored. Gradually add sugar, beating until dissolved. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; fold gently into egg mixture just until combined. Pour into a greased and waxed paper-lined jelly roll pan. Spread batter evenly over pan. Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until light brown. Turn out onto a cloth that has been sprinkled with confectioners' sugar. Peel off paper from cake; roll up cloth and cake. Cool. , For filling, whip cream, sugar and vanilla. Unroll cake and spread filling over it; sprinkle with strawberries. Roll up the cake again and chill 2 hours before serving. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar; garnish with strawberries, and additional whipped cream if desired.

• Beat eggs in a small bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until very thick and lemon colored, about 5 minutes. Pour into a larger bowl and beat in sugar gradually. Beat in water and vanilla on low speed.
• Add flour, baking powder, and salt gradually, beating just until batter is smooth. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Remove cake from the oven. Immediately loosen cake from the edges of the pan and invert onto a kitchen towel. Carefully remove aluminum foil and trim off any stiff edges if needed.
• Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar and carefully roll the hot cake and towel from the narrow end. Place on a wire rack and cool for at least 30 minutes.
• Beat jelly slightly with a fork to soften.
• Unroll cake and remove towel. Spread jelly over the cake. Roll cake, transfer to a serving platter, and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
