- Sponge cake:
Beat the sugar, egg yolks and water in a bowl for about 5 minutes, until the mixture is thick & frothy.
Whisk the egg whites with the salt until stiff. Add 2 tbsp sugar, continue beating until the egg whites are shiny.
Carefully fold in the beaten egg whites and the flour.
Spread the sponge mix (about 1 cm thick) onto parchment paper lined rectangular baking tray.
Bake for approx. 6 mins in the middle of a preheated 220 degree oven.
Flip sponge with the paper on a fresh parchment paper, coat top parchment paper with a wet cloth, pull away the top parchment paper carefully. Cover sponge immediately with the inverted baking tray and let cool down completely.
- Filling:
Using a hand blender mix 50g strawberries with the vanilla sugar, strain through a very fine sieve.
Whip the cream with the strawberry puree until stiff . Fold under the rest of the strawberries.
Spread the strawberry cream over the sponge, leaving a 2 cm margin free around the sponge.
Starting from the narrow side - roll up the sponge into a tight roll.
Refrigerate Swiss Roll for about 30 minutes.
