Hey friends!
Stop what you are doing right now and picture this. In front of you, you have sitting there a roll of pure heaven. The soft and fluffy cake with delicious mascarpone cream filling (non of that store-bought, 100% disgusting fake-cream). Sprinkled with bursts of strawberry sweetness. Like your taking a bite of a rainbow.
My friends, this is no fantasy! Make this strawberry cinnamon swiss roll and I promise you will be experiencing all the above! I made this on a whim, after a day of studying and putting off making this cake. And let be tell you, I wish I had made it sooner!
What are you waiting for! Drop your laptops and start baking!
