# How to Make:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease.
02 - Whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a bowl.
03 - Beat eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Pour into dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
04 - Spread batter evenly onto prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until cake springs back when touched. Cool completely.
05 - Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
06 - Remove cooled cake from pan and place on clean surface. Trim edges for neatness.
07 - Spread whipped cream evenly over cake, leaving 1/2-inch border along one long side. Sprinkle diced strawberries over cream.
08 - Starting from opposite long side, tightly roll cake using parchment paper to guide. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to set.
09 - Slice rolled cake into 8 even pieces to resemble sushi rolls.
10 - Top each piece with strawberry slice and sprinkle of chopped mint. Serve chilled.

# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • Its the kind of dessert that makes people pull out their phones before they even taste it
  • You get all the comfort of strawberry shortcake with none of the expected biscuit crumbling
02 -
  • That chill time is not optional, the roll needs to firm up or youll have a squished mess when you slice
  • A serrated knife cuts through the cream and cake without dragging, giving you those clean restaurant style pieces
03 -
  • If your cake cracks while rolling, press it together and chill it, the cream will hide most imperfections
  • A store bought Swiss roll works in a pinch but nothing beats that homemade vanilla cake flavor
