To make Strawberry Filling:
In mixer bowl whip cream to form soft peaks. Beat in sugar to form
stiff peaks. Fold in lemon curd to blend thoroughly. Mix in chopped
strawberries. Gently unroll cake. Spread strawberry mixture evenly on cake
and re-roll. Place seam-side-down. Dust with powdered sugar.
Cut into 8 (about 1 3/4-inch) equal slices. Place each slice on serving
plate. Garnish with whole and halved strawberries.
* Lemon curd can be found in the jam and jelly or
gourmet section of most supermarkets.
