Strawberry Roll Cake

Submitted by SarahKaye

"This is a light and tasty dessert that can be prepared, served and enjoyed any time during the year. It is also delicious when made with other seasonal fruits besides strawberries...such as blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, pineapple, kiwi, etc...and you can even add cocoa powder to make it a "chocolate" roll cake. A flavor for every mood! Enjoy!"
