It is an elegant dessert made with real, fresh strawberries.
And because of real, fresh strawberries you have the most flavorful pink filling which is sleeping inside of the most amazing chocolate roll cake.
Use 12×16 inch jelly roll pan, line with aluminum foil (dull side up).
Spray with baking spray and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Sift the flour, cocoa, cornstarch, baking powder and salt.
Add grounded hazelnut to the flour mixture. Set aside.
Your next step is to mix eggs and sugar.
So, add into the mixing bowl 6 eggs and 3/4 cup sugar. Beat until triples in volume. (9 minutes)
Your next step is to add dry or flour mixture into eggs.
Start adding 1/3 of flour mixture into the eggs.
Fold gently using a spatula. Make sure there is no clumps.
Keep adding flour and mixing until you used all flour mixture.
IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE TO SCRAPE DOWN THE BOWL WITH A SPATULA AND INCORPORATE IT BACK INTO THE BATTER.
And I will repeat again:
Please, be sure that flour mixture is incorporated into eggs mixture.
Spread the batter on the prepared jelly roll pan.
Bake at 350 for 15 minutes or until done.
Cool completely in the pan. (for about 2 hours)
You don't need to roll, just cool it. How easy is this recipe! Don't you agree?
Now, let's make pink filling full of strawberries.

Core the strawberries to remove the white center.
Place cleaned strawberries in a food processor and pulse until smooth.
You will have about 1 and 1/4 cup of puree.
Then put the pureed through a sieve to remove the seed. You don’t need to do this step if you like seeds .(Weirdo! I am not judging you…)
Place strawberry puree in a small saucepan over a medium heat.
Bring mixture to a simmer, stirring often. Simmer for about 30 min or until the mixture is reduced to 1/3 of the original volume.
Place the reduced puree into the fridge to allow to cool.
Beat the butter. Be sure that there is no lumps.
Then add 2 1/2 cups of icing sugar and mix until butter and sugar are combined.
Add your strawberry puree, vanilla and salt.
Beat together until combined.
Then add 2 cups of icing sugar and mix well until well combined.
Important: You can add less sugar. It is your choice.
