Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 egg whites
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
FILLING
300 ml whipping cream -- 1 1/4 cups
(measured before whipping)
fresh strawberries

Whisk egg whites and salt until they form soft peaks. This works better
if eggs are at room temperature. Add the sugar gradually, in 3 or 4 parts,
continuing to beat until peaks stay upright. Beat in vanilla.
Line a sponge roll tin with non stick baking paper or teflon sheet. (Sue's
note: I grease the lining as well, to prevent sticking).
Bake at 190 C, 375 F for 12 to 15 minutes, until the surface is golden
brown and the centre feels firm.
Meanwhile, grease another sheet of greaseproof paper with soft butter and
sprinkle with caster sugar.
Remove from oven and turn "cake" out upside down onto the prepared paper.
Remove paper either now or when cold, whatever you find works best.
When it is cold, spread with 2/3 of the whipped cream and sliced
strawberries.
Roll it up using the paper to help you. Make either a short fat roll or a
long thin one.
Place the roll with the join at the bottom on a long plate. Decorate with
the rest of the whipped cream and whole strawberries in a line along the
top.
Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

NOTES : I once put 1/4 cup of sugar in by mistake, instead of 1/2 cup, and
it was fine.
