A light and fluffy cake rolled around a creamy cheesecake filling with fresh strawberries, combining the classic flavors of strawberry shortcake and cheesecake in an elegant, easy-to-make dessert.

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale.
  3. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then gently fold into the egg mixture to maintain airiness.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for about 12-15 minutes until golden and springy to the touch.
  5. While the cake is still warm, carefully roll it up in a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Let it cool completely rolled up to set its shape.
  6. For the cheesecake filling, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
  7. Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
  8. Unroll the cooled cake and spread the cheesecake filling evenly over it.
  9. Arrange sliced fresh strawberries over the filling, then gently roll the cake back up.
  10. Chill the roll for 2 to 3 hours to let the flavors meld and the filling firm up.
  11. Slice and serve, enjoying each creamy, fruity bite.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture and flavor, though low-fat will work with less richness.
  • Rolling the cake while warm and using a powdered sugar-dusted towel helps prevent cracking.
  • Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained well to avoid sogginess.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with whipped coconut cream.
  • Store the roll refrigerated, wrapped tightly, for up to 3 days; do not freeze.
