Ingredients
Scale
For the Cake Roll
- 1 sponge cake sheet (approx. 10×15 inches, homemade or store-bought)
For the Filling
- 8 ounces (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240 ml) whipped cream
- 1 ½ cups (225 g) fresh strawberries, diced
- 3 tablespoons (45 g) strawberry preserves or jam
Optional Garnishes
- White chocolate drizzle
- Extra whipped cream
- Mint leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake: Lay the cooled sponge cake sheet flat on a piece of parchment paper or a rolling mat, making sure it is ready to be spread with the fillings.
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped cream to create a light and fluffy filling.
- Assemble the Roll: Spread the strawberry preserves evenly over the cake surface. Then, evenly spread the cream cheese and whipped cream mixture on top, followed by a sprinkle of diced fresh strawberries for added texture and flavor.
- Roll the Cake: Starting from one of the short ends of the cake sheet, carefully use the parchment paper to help roll the cake into a tight log shape. Once rolled, wrap it securely and chill in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes to help it set and hold its shape.
- Slice and Serve: After chilling, remove the roll from the fridge and use a sharp knife to cut into 1-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices on a serving platter. Optionally, drizzle with melted white chocolate, add extra whipped cream, and garnish with fresh mint leaves for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Chilling the roll before slicing helps maintain its shape and makes cutting cleaner.
- Use a serrated knife for easier slicing to prevent squashing the roll.
- Fresh strawberries can be replaced with other berries like blueberries or raspberries if preferred.
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free sponge cake base.
- The dessert is best served the same day but can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 2 days.
