Rhubarb and strawberries jelly roll cake recipe

That was Adrien’s birthday. We were invited to his parents’ house and I was taking care of the dessert. I am currently studying for a project management exam and I had no time to bake something special. Thanksfully one of Adrien’s favourite cake is really easy and fast to bake and I still had a jar of rhubarb and strawberries jam left. I woke up this morning and I immediatly baked this delicious jelly roll cake.

That was my first time. We usually bought one in the supermarket when we were receiving a bunch of friends with nothing planned for dessert. To be honest, I never really enjoyed eating these ready cakes and not understood what Adrien could find so tasty about them.

Anyway, as a nice spouse, I wanted to bake him something he really liked. His family loved this cake so much that they eat the all cake in less than 10 minutes. True story. I have to admit, it was delicious. I was affraid that the biscuit become too dry; but that was not the case. Simply delicious. That could be a great idea as well for Christmas !
