Ingredients

Scale

Cake Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until smooth and well combined. Pour the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and springy to the touch.
  2. Roll the Cake: Immediately after baking, turn the cake out onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off the parchment paper. Starting from the short edge, roll the cake up in the towel and let it cool completely rolled to maintain its shape for easy filling.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Filling: While the cake cools, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a light and airy filling.
  4. Assemble the Rolls: Unroll the cooled cake gently. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the surface, then sprinkle the chopped fresh strawberries on top. Carefully roll the cake back up tightly but without squeezing out the filling.
  5. Chill and Serve: Wrap the roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set. Once chilled, slice into thick rounds to reveal beautiful swirls of cake, creamy filling, and strawberries. Garnish with extra berries or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and a tender cake.
  • Do not overbake the cake to keep it moist and flexible for rolling.
  • Roll the cake while it is still warm to prevent cracks.
  • Chill the roll thoroughly for cleaner slices and better texture.
  • Choose ripe, juicy fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
