Batter Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). Beat eggs and sugar together for about 10 minutes on high speed or until the mixture is thick and fluffy. Reduce speed to low then add salt and vanilla extract. Increase speed to high and beat for a couple more minutes.
Sift in flour in two additions. Using hand whisker or silicon spatula fold the flour in very gently from the bottom up just until combined with no dry flour remaining in the batter.
Spread batter evenly into a greased and lined with a parchment paper baking sheet (NOTE: I prefer making one end of the parchment paper little longer for easier rolling after baking). Bake for 18 minutes at 350 F (180 C).
Remove from the oven let the cake roll cool for about 2 minutes (this allows the cake sponge to moisten and separate from parchment paper).
Remove sponge cake from baking sheet. DO NOT remove parchment paper. Sprinkle a little bit of confections sugar on top of the cake roll (this will prevent from the sponge cake not sticking to the parchment papeand roll the cake sponge into a loose log. Let it cool completely before frosting.

Gently unroll the cooled cake sponge. Spread strawberry sauce onto the cake sponge.
Next, place the cream in ¼ cup portions throughout the sponge cake and then connect the cream by pressing and spreading the cream with each of the portion (this prevents the cream and sauce mixturgently and evenly.
Roll the cake (peeling off the parchment paper of the sponge cakthe same way as it was rolled out, keeping it together pretty firm, but not too tight or else the cake sponge will tear.
Sprinkle the top of the cake with confection sugar place halted strawberries and that is all! Refrigerate the cake roll for 2 - 4 hours before serving.
