Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake:
    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
    • In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
    • In a separate bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale (about 3-4 minutes). Stir in vanilla extract.
    • Gently fold in the flour mixture, followed by milk and melted butter.
    • Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cake springs back when touched.
    • While warm, roll the cake in a clean towel dusted with powdered sugar and let it cool completely.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
    • Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
    • Add vanilla extract and heavy whipping cream, whipping until fluffy.
  3. Prepare the Strawberry Filling:
    • Combine chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  4. Make the Strawberry Shortcake Crumble:
    • Mix crushed vanilla wafer cookies and freeze-dried strawberries.
    • Stir in melted butter until combined.
  5. Assemble the Rolls:
    • Unroll the cooled cake and spread cheesecake filling evenly.
    • Spoon the strawberry mixture over the filling.
    • Gently roll the cake back up, peeling away the parchment paper.
    • Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  6. Finish and Serve:
    • Remove from refrigerator and dust with powdered sugar.
    • Sprinkle with strawberry shortcake crumble.
    • Slice and serve chilled.
