The Strawberry Swiss Roll is a traditional dessert that offers a delightful combination of sponge cake, fresh strawberries, and cream. It is especially popular during the spring and summer months when strawberries are in season.

This cake is a popular dessert in Colombia and throughout Latin America, often served at celebrations and special occasions. Known as “brazo de reina” (queen’s arm), it gets its name from its coiled shape that resembles a queen’s arm adorned with a bracelet. My aunt has perfected her strawberry Swiss roll recipe, which I have adapted by using monk fruit sweetener instead of sugar and adding Greek yogurt to the whipped cream. It turned out perfectly! Other strawberry dessert favorites of mine include Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake, Strawberry Romanoff, and Strawberry and Cream Crepe Cake. And for a fall twist, try the Pumpkin Roll.
