Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by creaming the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix it into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  3. Divide dough into three portions. Mix cocoa powder into one portion for chocolate layer, and strawberry puree into another.
  4. Roll out chocolate dough, then layer with vanilla and strawberry dough. Roll tightly into a log and seal edges.
  5. Wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least one hour to maintain shape while baking.
