📝 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Make the Cake Batter
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in one bowl.
In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar for 5–7 minutes until thick and pale.
Mix in vanilla and milk, then gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
3️⃣ Bake the Cake
Spread the batter evenly in your pan.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until it springs back when lightly touched.
4️⃣ Roll the Cake
While still warm, turn the cake onto a powdered sugar-dusted kitchen towel.
Peel off the parchment and roll it up in the towel (from the short end). Let it cool completely.
5️⃣ Make the Filling
Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Fold in the whipped cream until light and fluffy.
6️⃣ Assemble the Roll
Unroll the cooled cake. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly.
Sprinkle on the chopped strawberries. Carefully roll it back up (no towel this time!).
7️⃣ Chill & Slice
Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1–2 hours.
Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with strawberry sauce before slicing and serving.
