Directions
Make the Cake Roll: 1 Preheat oven to 350F 175C. Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and grease lightly.
2 In a large bowl, beat the eggs until thick and pale, about 3-5 minutes. Gradually add the granulated sugar and vanilla, beating until combined.
3 In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined.
4 Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched.
5 Immediately after baking, dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar and carefully invert the cake onto the towel. Peel off the parchment paper, then roll the cake with the towel from the short end. Let it cool completely while rolled.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: 6 In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
7 In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
8 Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.
Make the Strawberry Filling: 9 In a saucepan, combine diced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat.
Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook until the strawberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool completely before using.
Assemble the Dessert Roll: 11 Carefully unroll the cooled cake. Spread an even layer of the cheesecake filling over the cake, leaving a small border at the edges.
12 Spread the strawberry filling on top of the cheesecake layer.
13 Roll the cake back up without the towel, and place seam-side down on a serving platter.
Decorate: 14 Sprinkle crushed shortbread or graham crackers over the top of the roll.
15 Garnish with additional sliced strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
Chill and Serve: 16 Refrigerate the roll for at least 1 hour before slicing for best results.
