Strawberry Roulade Recipes

LEMON AND STRAWBERRY ROULADE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Grease and line a 30x24cm/12x9½in Swiss roll tin with baking paper.
• For the roulade, place a large heatproof bowl over a pan of gently simmering water. Add the eggs and sugar to the bowl and, using an electric mixer, beat for 3-4 minutes, or until doubled in size. Take off the heat and continue to beat for another 4-5 minutes on a medium to high speed.
• Using a large metal spoon, fold in the flour in three batches making sure it is all incorporated. Fold in the melted butter in the same way.
• Gently pour the mixture into the prepared tin and spread evenly using a spatula. Bake for 10 minutes or until just firm and lightly golden-brown.
• Dust a large baking sheet with icing sugar and carefully turn the roulade out. Carefully peel away the baking paper used to line the tin. Starting at a short end, fold the edge of the paper over the cake. Roll the cake up into the paper. Allow the roulade to cool completely while rolled.
• For the filling, first make a curd. In a saucepan, heat the sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and butter over a medium heat. Stir as the butter melts and when combined stir in the cornflour. Keep stirring, using a hand whisk, for another 2-3 minutes. Take off the heat and stir in the beaten eggs. Return to a low heat and keep stirring until the curd is thickened and leaves a trail on the surface when the whisk is removed (about 15-20 minutes). Leave to cool and set.
• For the cream, beat the cream and icing sugar together until soft peaks form when the whisk is removed. Transfer to the fridge to chill.
• Once the roulade is cool, unroll it and spread with a generous layer of whipped cream (keep any remaining cream for the decoration). Top with a layer of curd and sliced strawberries. Tightly re-roll the roulade and place on a serving plate.
• Spread the remaining cream over the roulade and score with a fork. Scatter with grated white chocolate and pistachio crumbs and top with the strawberries.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
• Grease a 33cm x 23cm/13in x 10in Swiss roll tin and line with baking paper.
• Whisk the egg whites in a clean, large bowl with an electric mixer on high-speed until very stiff.
• Gradually add the sugar, 1 teaspoon at a time and, keeping the mixer on a high-speed, whisk well between each addition. Whisk until very, very stiff and glossy and all the sugar has been added.
• Spread the meringue mixture into the lined tin and sprinkle with the almonds. Put the tin in the oven and bake for about 8 minutes until golden.
• Lower the temperature to 160C/140C Fan/Gas 3 and bake for a further 15 minutes, until crisp and firm to the touch.
• Remove the meringue from the oven and turn almond-side down onto a sheet of baking paper.
• Remove the paper from the base of the cooked meringue and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
• Lightly whip the cream and mix with the yoghurt. Spread evenly over the meringue.
• Cut the strawberries into quarters and sprinkle over the cream mixture.
• Roll up the meringue firmly, using the paper to help you, from the long end of the roulade. It is essential you keep the roll very tight. Wrap in baking paper and chill before serving.
• When you are ready to serve, dust with icing sugar and cut into slices.

STRAWBERRY-CREAM SPONGE ROULADE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-by-15-inch jelly roll pan. Line it with a sheet of waxed paper cut to fit the width but extending a few inches at either end. Butter the paper.
• Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together and set aside.
• Beat the eggs at high speed for five minutes, until very thick and light. Gradually beat in the sugar, then at low speed fold in the flour mixture.
• Spread batter in the pan and bake 20 minutes, until puffed and golden. Run a knife around the edges.
• Heavily dust a clean linen towel with sifted confectioners' sugar and invert the cake, pan and all, onto the towel. Lift off the pan and peel off the paper. Roll the cake in the towel and set aside to cool.
• When the cake is cool, gently unroll it and spread it with the whipped cream. Sweeten the berries to taste and spread them over the cream. Reroll the cake. Wrap the cake in foil and refrigerate until ready to serve.

STRAWBERRY ROULADE

Steps:

• 1 To make the filling, rinse the strawberries. Select 4 or 5 of the best berries to use for decoration and refrigerate them. Hull and slice the remaining berries. Combine the sliced berries with the sugar, kirsch, and lemon juice in a bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• 2 Drain the berries, reserving the juice. In a medium bowl, whip the cream with the vanilla. Fold in the berries.
• 3 To assemble, remove the paper from the bottom of the gênoise and place the layer right side up on a clean piece of paper. Moisten the layer with the reserved strawberry juices. Spread with the filling and roll it up, wrapping it tightly in the paper. Place the roll in the freezer on a baking sheet while you prepare the meringue.
• 4 Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• 5 Whisk the egg whites and sugar in the bowl of an eclectic mixer, place over a pan of simmering water, and whisk until the egg whites are hot and the sugar is dissolved. Attach to the mixer and beat with the whip attachment on medium speed until cooled.
• 6 Place the cake roll on a baking sheet and cover with meringue, reserving a little meringue for decoration. Pipe several rosettes of meringue along the top. Dust the meringue with confectioners' sugar.
• 7 Place the cake on the center rack in the oven to color the meringue, about 1 to 2 minutes; turn the pan several times so the meringue colors evenly. Cool, then chill the roll.
• 8 Trim the ends of the cake on a diagonal. Slide the roulade onto a platter and decorate with the reserved strawberries.
