Ingredients
Scale
Cake Base:
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Filling and Cream Cheese Mixture:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam
Topping and Garnish:
- 1/4 cup crushed shortbread cookies
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Carefully line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage.
- Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly to eliminate any lumps.
- Using an electric mixer, whip eggs and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and increases in volume, creating a light, airy texture.
- Incorporate vanilla extract and milk into the egg mixture, blending until smooth and well integrated.
- Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, using delicate strokes to maintain the mixture’s airiness and prevent overmixing.
- Evenly spread the batter across the prepared pan, creating a thin, uniform layer.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the cake is lightly golden and springs back when touched.
- Immediately transfer the hot cake onto a clean kitchen towel generously dusted with powdered sugar.
- Roll the warm cake with the towel, creating a loose spiral and allowing it to cool completely.
- Whip cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy, then gently fold in whipped cream to create a light cheesecake filling.
- Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the cheesecake mixture evenly across the surface.
- Distribute fresh diced strawberries over the filling and drizzle strawberry jam for added sweetness and flavor.
- Tightly roll the cake back into its original spiral shape, ensuring the filling remains secure.
- Refrigerate the rolled cake for a minimum of one hour to set and enhance flavor.
- Before serving, garnish with crushed shortbread cookies and a delicate dusting of powdered sugar, then slice into elegant portions.
Notes
- Maintain a consistent thickness when spreading batter to ensure even baking and rolling.
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better texture in the cake and filling.
- Dust the towel generously with powdered sugar to prevent the cake from sticking during the initial roll.
- Chill the rolled cake thoroughly to help it set and make slicing cleaner and more precise.
