Ingredients
Scale
Cake
- 1 sponge cake sheet (approx. 10×15 inches, homemade or store-bought)
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 Garnish
- 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 clean rolling mat, ready for spreading the fillings.
- Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, beat 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 entire surface of the sponge cake. Next, spread the cream cheese and whipped cream mixture evenly on top of the preserves. Sprinkle the diced fresh strawberries evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Roll the cake: Beginning from one of the short ends, carefully use the parchment paper to help roll the cake tightly into a log shape, ensuring the filling stays inside. Once rolled, wrap tightly with parchment and chill in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes to set.
- Slice and serve: Remove the roll from the fridge and unwrap. Using a sharp knife, cut the cake roll into 1-inch thick sushi-like pieces. Arrange the slices on a platter. Drizzle with white chocolate, add extra whipped cream if desired, and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pretty presentation.
Notes
- Use a fresh, moist sponge cake for best results to prevent cracking while rolling.
- Chilling the roll helps it hold its shape when sliced.
- For a sweeter touch, add more strawberry preserves or dust with powdered sugar.
- Orange zest can be added to the cream cheese filling for a citrus twist.
- Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days.
