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.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
