Preheat the oven at 200°C. Put a sheet of parchment paper in a baking tray, spread the batter onto the tray and smooth with a spatula. Put it in the oven for about 12 minutes, until the top springs back when pressed gently. After it baked, remove it from the oven, let it cool in the tray for a minute or two, then loosen the edges with a knife. Turn out onto a tea towel lightly sprinkled with sugar, roll up loosely and let cool completely.
Put the halved strawberries in a blender along with the vanilla sugar and blend it until it became a puree. In a bowl, stir the puree with the hardened whipped cream. We fill the roll with ⅔ of the resulting cream and decorate it with the rest. Put it in the cooler for an hour before serving it. Enjoy!
