Ingredients

Scale

Cake Base

  • 1 thin layer of light and airy sponge cake or pound cake (enough to roll without cracking)

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit

  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, thinly sliced

Garnishes

  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Additional strawberry slices (optional)
  • Dollops of whipped cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake Base: Bake a thin layer of sponge cake or pound cake in a rectangular pan, ensuring it’s flexible enough to roll without cracking. Once baked, turn the cake onto a clean kitchen towel sprinkled with powdered sugar to prevent sticking. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped cream and vanilla extract to incorporate airiness while maintaining richness. This filling will be the luscious core of your roll.
  3. Add Fresh Strawberries: Slice fresh strawberries thinly and spread a generous layer evenly over the cake base. These juicy berries add bursts of flavor and a contrasting texture.
  4. Spread the Filling and Roll: Evenly spread the cheesecake filling over the strawberries-covered cake. Starting from one end, carefully roll the cake into a tight spiral, using the towel to help guide it. Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour to set.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, dust the roll with powdered sugar and decorate with additional strawberry slices or dollops of whipped cream. Slice into rounds to reveal the gorgeous spiral pattern of cake, filling, and strawberries.

Notes

  • Choose a flexible, light sponge cake for easy rolling without cracks.
  • Refrigerate the roll after assembling to help the filling set and maintain shape.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and juiciness.
  • Balance the filling so it doesn’t ooze out during rolling, keeping a neat shape.
  • Use a towel or parchment paper to lift and roll the cake carefully to avoid tears.
