Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for whipped cream)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on high speed for 5 minutes, until thick and pale. Add vanilla and milk; mix to combine.
  4. Gently fold in the flour mixture until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the cake springs back when touched.
  6. While the cake is baking, lay out a clean kitchen towel and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  7. When the cake is done, immediately invert it onto the prepared towel. Peel off the parchment paper and gently roll the cake up in the towel, starting from the short end. Let it cool completely.
  8. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  9. Once the cake is cool, unroll it carefully. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the cake and sprinkle with strawberries and blueberries.
  10. Re-roll the cake (without the towel) and place seam-side down on a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • For a more patriotic look, arrange berries in flag-style inside or on top.
  • Chill the cake for 30 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
  • You can use a store-bought whipped topping if short on time.
