Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Swiss Roll Cake is a beautiful and delicious dessert featuring a soft chocolate sponge cake rolled with fresh strawberry whipped cream and finished with a glossy chocolate ganache. It’s like a chocolate-covered strawberry in cake form.

Ingredients

  • For the chocolate cake:
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • For the strawberry filling:
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
  • 1–2 tbsp strawberry jam (optional)
  • For the chocolate ganache:
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Optional garnish:
  • Fresh strawberries, halved or whole
  • Shaved chocolate or sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Grease well.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla and milk.
  4. Fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined. Pour into prepared pan and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  6. While hot, roll the cake (with parchment) from the short end. Let cool completely.
  7. For the filling, whip cream and powdered sugar to stiff peaks. Fold in strawberries and jam if using.
  8. Unroll the cooled cake gently, spread filling evenly, and re-roll (without parchment).
  9. For ganache, heat cream until hot (not boiling), pour over chocolate, and stir until smooth.
  10. Pour ganache over the rolled cake, smooth with a spatula, and garnish with strawberries or chocolate shavings. Let set before slicing.

Notes

  • Roll the cake while warm to prevent cracks.
  • Use raspberries or blueberries for a fruity variation.
  • Add a layer of Nutella or cocoa whipped cream for extra chocolate flavor.
  • Strawberry extract enhances the berry notes in the filling.
  • Chill the cake before slicing for cleaner cuts.
