It's not a direct translation, but think of pionono as Spanish for jelly-roll cake. This spongy berry version, which our reader inherited from a close family friend, creates a big ta-da at the table for very little effort.
We had this strawberry roll cake at a Easter egg hunt Saturday brunch in Portland, Oregon. It was great and the children were eating it. I made it the next week for my Daughter Mary's family. Owen loved it and So loved it and every one had some. It is a great time of year-April to use the great strawberries we are getting at the market and the real whipped cream was great for Mike, Mary, Owen and So. I will now make it for the Questers meeting next Monday.

But, try it I did, make I did, and I have this to say, it was really, really good. Everyone who tried it, really liked it and came back for seconds. I had made this cake and a 2 layer chocolate cake with a coconut cream filling, for my sister's 50th birthday party. I decided on trying this because it looked so good and it was different. As well as the fact that not everyone likes chocolate. Turns out it was a good call. The chocolate cake was a 9x13 and half was left. This cake role, only had 2 small pieces left and my uncle and his wife left with those. I will definitely be making this again.
