If I could pick one fruit that epitomizes summer for me, it would have to be the strawberries. Sweet, juicy, and that bright red color make it the perfect addition to any recipe. I’m just thankful that my strawberry plants produce an insane amount of strawberries each year 🙂

One of our favorite summer treats in strawberry shortcake. We don’t usually make it with actual shortcake though. Angel food cake is our preference. So light and airy, it’s absolutely divine.

Today I’ve got this Strawberry Shortcake Roulade (or cake roll) for you that has all the flavors or a strawberry shortcake rolled up into a light and airy cake. Amazing.

Reece was eyeing the cake the entire time I was making it and was literally begging for a piece near the end. At first bite, he quickly designated this Strawberry Shortcake Roulade as his new birthday cake. Three slices later, he was happily curled up on the couch daydreaming about the next time I would make this cake…

Bryce loved it just as much and was thankful it wasn’t chocolate. He’s on a I don’t like chocolate kick right now which has me seriously questioning his parentage.

The cake is stunning. I hesitated a few moments before actually slicing into it. With a light (or heavy) dusting of powdered sugar, it looks magnificent. No heavy frosting to weigh it down. Just a delicious whipped cream and fresh strawberry filling to set it off perfectly.

After slicing into the cake, I think it may even look prettier 🙂 This recipe would be great for a celebration or BBQ. Trust me, there won’t be any left.
