Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Spray a 12×17 inch rimmed baking sheet with nonstick baking spray and line with parchment paper. Grease the parchment paper with butter. Set aside.

- Stir dry ingredients into the wet just until combined.
- Fold egg whites into the batter until fully incorporated.

- In a small bowl combine the strawberries, one tablespoon of sugar, and lemon zest.
- In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream on high speed until soft peaks form.
- Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Spread onto the cooled cake leaving a one inch border around the edges.
- Scatter strawberries over the top of the whipped cream.
- Starting at the short end, roll up the cake, letting the parchment fall away as you roll.
- Place the cake seam side down.
- Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
