Brush it with a pastry brush or damp cloth, the carefully remove it from the sponge base. Roll it up into a roll with the kitchen towel from one of the short sides and set aside to cool for approx. 20 minutes

  5. Prepare the filling in the meantime. Whip the cream until stiff and stir in a sachet of gelantine for about 1 minute. Then mix in the sugar, fold in the diced strawberries and cream

  6. Carefully roll out the cooled base and spread the filling as evenly as possible. Sprinkle the pistachio slivers on top and roll up again. Leave on the seam in the fridge for a day

  7. Before serving, smooth the edges, sprinkle with powdered sugar and decorate if desired
