Fluffy Strawberry Roll with White Chocolate Cream | Rulou pufos cu căpșuni și cremă de ciocolată albă

A soft sponge cake filled with velvety white chocolate cream and fresh strawberries — melts in your mouth and perfect for strawberry season!

Ingredients
    For the Sponge Cake:
  • 3 large eggs
  • 6 tablespoons sugar
  • Zest of 1 lemon (grated)
  • 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ tablespoons baking powder
  • For the Filling:
  • 200 grams white chocolate, chopped
  • 250 grams cream cheese or mascarpone
  • 100 milliliters whipping cream
  • 6 medium strawberries, chopped
Instructions
  1. Prepare the Sponge Cake
      • Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).
      • In a large bowl, beat 3 eggs with 6 tablespoons sugar for about 3 minutes, until the mixture triples in volume.
      • Add the grated lemon zest and 6 tablespoons oil, and continue mixing for another 2 minutes.
      • Sift in ½ tablespoon baking powder and 3 tablespoons flour, mix gently.
      • Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of flour and fold with a whisk or spatula until just combined — avoid overmixing.
      • Pour the batter into a parchment-lined baking tray (approx. 25x35 cm), spread evenly.
      • Bake for 15–20 minutes until lightly golden and springy to the touch.
  2. Prepare the Filling
      • While the cake bakes, chop the strawberries into small cubes.
      • Melt 200 g white chocolate in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between until smooth.
      • Let the chocolate cool to room temperature, then mix it with 250 g cream cheese (or mascarpone) and 100 ml whipping cream until creamy and smooth.
      • Fold in the chopped strawberries.
  3. Assemble the Roll
      • Once the sponge cake is out of the oven, immediately roll it up (with parchment paper) while still warm, to shape it and prevent cracking.
      • Let the rolled cake cool completely.
      • Gently unroll, spread the cream filling evenly across the surface.
      • Roll the cake back up and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or parchment.
      • Chill in the fridge for at least a few hours, ideally overnight, to set.
  4. Serve
      • Slice and serve chilled. Optional: dust with powdered sugar or garnish with extra strawberries.
