- Whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, this should take about 5 mins.
- Sift the flour and fold in with the vanilla extract.
- Pour into the tin and bake for about 12-15 minutes
- Turn out onto a piece of baking parchment that has been dusted with sugar. Roll up the sponge and allow to cool.
- Whisk the cream until thick, unroll the sponge and spread some cream over. Sprinkle chopped strawberries over, then re-roll the sponge and transfer to a serving plate.
- You can then pipe cream on top and decorate with the whole strawberries, and chocolate sticks. Finish off by sprinkling with freeze dried strawberries.
