Little Four Roll
This Little Four Roll is named for its simple formula of four eggs and four ingredients measured at 40 grams each. The soft sponge is filled with sweetened whipped cream and fresh strawberries for a light and fruity dessert.
Story
The cake bakes up tender and golden, rolling easily around the creamy filling. Sliced into neat portions, it offers a delightful balance of fluffy sponge, rich cream, and the bright, juicy sweetness of strawberries.
