Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly butter or grease the bottom and sides of a jelly roll pan; line with parchment paper.
  • To make design paste, mix butter and sugar until smooth, add flour and mix, then add egg white and mix until smooth.
  • Divide paste into 3 bowls and add food coloring as desired. Transfer to piping bags.
  • Pipe design onto parchment. Place pan in freezer to set while preparing the batter.
  • Place egg yolks in a bowl, add sugar and whisk until dissolved. Drizzle in oil while whisking until incorporated.
  • Whisk in milk, almond extract and salt, then fold in sifted cake flour.
  • In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until frothy, add sugar and beat until medium-stiff peaks.
  • Fold egg whites into batter, pour over frozen design, and bake for 10 minutes or until set.
  • Remove from oven, invert onto a cutting board and remove parchment. Dust towel with powdered sugar and flip cake over.
  • Roll the warm cake in the towel and let it cool for about 1 hour.
  • To make filling, sprinkle gelatin over water, let soften, then microwave until liquefied.
  • Pulse freeze dried strawberries with sugar until finely ground.
  • Beat cream until frothy, add powdered sugar, then beat until medium-stiff peaks.
  • Unroll cake, spread filling over, then roll up carefully and wrap in plastic wrap.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set filling. Cut into slices to serve.
