Description
A delightful dessert that combines light sponge cake with creamy cheesecake filling and sweet strawberries, rolled into a beautiful swirl. Perfect for celebrations or a special treat.
Ingredients
4 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup milk
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for strawberries)
Crushed shortbread cookies or graham crackers (for garnish)
Fresh strawberries, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold into the egg mixture along with the milk until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spread evenly, and bake for 10–12 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Immediately roll the warm cake in parchment paper or a powdered sugar-dusted kitchen towel. Let it cool completely.
- For the filling, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream.
- Toss diced strawberries with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and set aside.
- Unroll the cooled cake, spread the cheesecake filling evenly, and top with sweetened strawberries.
- Carefully re-roll the cake into a tight swirl. Garnish with crushed cookies and fresh strawberries.
- Chill for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
Notes
Roll the cake while it's warm to avoid cracking.
Use fresh strawberries for best texture and flavor.
This dessert is best served chilled and can be made a day ahead.
Try different berries or cookie toppings for fun variations.
