👨‍🍳 Method

For the Sponge Cake

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F). Line a 30 x40 cm pan with parchment paper.
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOvenBaking sheetParchment paper
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Whip the egg whites to a foam. Gradually add the sugar, whipping constantly, to stiff, glossy peaks.

For the Cream Filling

  1. 7
    Whip the cold cream on medium speed, until it starts to thicken.
    ⚙ WhippingBowlHand mixerorStand mixer
    💡Cold cream whips quickly and holds firm: warm cream won't hold air. Stop when the peaks are firm, before it turns grainy.
    💡Whip cream very cold, in a chilled bowl with chilled beaters, and stop when it holds firm: overwhipping turns it grainy and buttery.
  2. 8
    Add the powdered sugar and keep whipping on high speed to firm peaks.

To assemble

  1. 9
    Spread the cream over the layer, arrange the strawberries and blueberries over it and roll into a roulade.
    Offset spatula
    💡Spread the cream only on a completely cooled cake, and leave a bare border at the end: the cream gets pushed there as you roll instead of spilling out.
  2. 10
    Serve cold.
