The sponge cake:
In the bowl of a mixer, combine the eggs, salt, sugar, and liquid vanilla. Beat at high speed for 5 minutes, until the mixture has doubled in volume.
Sift the flour over the egg mixture and gently fold it in, lifting from the bottom so you don't deflate the mixture. Be sure to scrape the bottom, as the flour settles there.
Pour this mixture onto a baking tray, and smooth the top. Bake for 12 minutes at 180°C (350°F).
Just after baking, unmold the sponge cake, and trim the edges. Cut the rectangle into 9 equal pieces. Place each piece on a small piece of parchment paper and roll it tightly.
Then, wrap them in plastic wrap to hold them together. Let them cool while you prepare the filling.
The filling:
Put the mascarpone, very cold whipping cream, and sugar in a bowl. Whip until stiff peaks form. Add the strawberry jam and mix.
Unroll your sponge cakes, and spread 1 to 2 teaspoons of filling.
Roll the sponge cakes without rolling them too tightly, so the filling doesn't spill out, and place them on a cooling rack set over a tray.
The icing:
Mix the icing sugar with the milk, then add food coloring to achieve the desired color.
Using a piping bag, drizzle the icing over each mini roll. It will spread gradually over the roll.
Adjust the icing as you go to ensure it covers the entire roll. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes to allow the icing to set.
And there you have it, your mini strawberry rolls are ready!

FAQ ❓

How can I make a light and airy sponge cake for my rolls?

To make a light sponge cake, beat the eggs and sugar until the mixture doubles in volume and becomes frothy. Gently fold in the flour so you don't knock out the air.

What's the best way to roll the sponge cake without breaking it?

To roll the sponge cake without breaking it, unmold it immediately after baking and roll it while it's still hot, using the parchment paper. This helps give it shape without cracks.
