Let's get started. I first baked a basic vanilla sponge cake with 4 eggs recipe and kept it in the freezer. Then I prepared the ingredients to make the strawberry frosting:
Ingredients:
- Softened butter - 1 cup
- Sifted icing sugar - 1 cup
- Finely chopped fresh strawberries - 1 cup
- Beat the butter till it is softened.
- Add the icing sugar and beat on low speed. You wouldn't want to have a flour shower in your kitchen :)
- Finally, add the chopped strawberries and beat till you reach the desired consistency.
- If the frosting is too thin, add some icing sugar. If it is thick, add strawberries to get a balance in the consistency.
- Spread the frosting on to the thin layer of the sponge cake and add sliced strawberries on top of it. Keep some to cover the outside of the cake.
- Roll it like a swiss roll or like a cinnamon bun.
- Wrap it with cling and freeze it till it is set.
- Cover the top and sides of the Swiss roll cake with the remaining frosting.
