We will start by preparing the chantilly cream with mascarpone for the filling. To do this, we put the gelatin leaves in a bowl in cold water. We let it hydrate for 10 minutes.
Then we boil the milk with the vanilla pod and sugar. We let it infuse, covered, for 15 minutes. We pass through a strainer, add the drained gelatin sheets and melted for a few seconds in the microwave and the mascarpone cheese.
Strawberry cake roll with whipped cream
We use the hand mixer so that the dough is smooth. Next, we add the cold cream and mix with a spatula until we obtain a homogeneous consistency. We let it rest for 12 hours in the refrigerator. Next, beat at medium speed until the cream gains volume and becomes thick. We reserve in a pastry bag with a wide nozzle.

To make the rolled cake, preheat the oven to 180°C. We prepare a baking tray with a silicone mat or a sheet of baking paper measuring about 35×35 cm or a 40x30cm baking tray.
We beat the egg yolks and sugar A with a mixer using a “beater” accessory until we obtain a clear and voluminous mass. On the other hand, we beat the egg whites with the sugar B in a separate bowl until we obtain a light, stable but elastic foam.
We add the meringue to the beaten yolks several times, stirring constantly with a spatula. Next, add the sifted flour and mix gently with a spatula. Finally, in small portions, we add the vegetable oil mixed with the milk at room temperature.
Strawberry cake roll using cake mix
We mix gently until we obtain a homogeneous mass. We pour the dough into a mold and flatten it with a spatula. We bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The cake will have a uniform golden color and will come out easily from the mold without sticking. We let the cake cool to room temperature.
To finish our cake roll, we whip the chantilly cream until we obtain an elastic consistency. We place the cake on parchment paper and spread the strawberry jam over the surface of the cake, distributing it well.
We pour about 180 g of whipped cream on top and smooth it with a spatula. On the narrow edge of the cake, use the piping bag to place a tube of cream at a distance of 1 to 1.5 cm from the edge. Lifting the parchment, we gently twist the roll inside, pressing lightly after each turn.
We place the roll, hiding the closure underneath, on a baking tray and refrigerate it for an hour. Once stabilized, we cut the edges of the cake roll. We decorate with icing sugar, decorate the surface with the cream and mascarpone cream and place some fresh strawberries on top.
