# Instructions:
01 -
Heat up your oven to 350°F (about 175°C). Grab a 10x15-inch pan, line it with parchment, and lightly grease the surface.
02 -
Using a big mixing bowl, whip together the eggs and sugar on high for 4-5 minutes till it gets pale and thick. Add vanilla next. In another bowl, mix up the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the egg mix. Combine the melted butter with milk in a small bowl and fold this in last, being gentle with the batter.
03 -
Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth it out evenly. Bake for around 10-12 minutes, or until it looks lightly golden and springs when pressed.
04 -
Once out of the oven and warm, roll the cake (parchment still inside) from the shorter side tightly. Let the rolled cake cool completely before moving on.
05 -
Mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until it’s smooth and fluffy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream till stiff and fold it all together with the cream cheese mixture.
06 -
Toss the strawberries with sugar in a small dish and let it sit for a few minutes to bring out their juice.
07 -
Carefully unroll your cooled cake. Spread the cheesecake layer across, leaving about half an inch clear at the edges. Scatter the strawberry filling over that. Roll the cake back up without the parchment this time, then wrap it in plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for an hour to firm up.
08 -
Spread some whipped cream over the top of the chilled roll. Add cookie crumbs on top and place fresh strawberries to make it look great.
09 -
Chill the roll until it’s ready. Slice into portions and enjoy it cold!
