Ingredients
For the Cake:
-
3 large eggs
-
¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
-
1 tablespoon (15ml) vegetable oil
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
¾ cup (93g) all-purpose flour
-
Powdered sugar, for rolling
For the Filling and Topping:
-
8 ounces (226g) cream cheese, softened
-
½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
2 cups (474ml) cold heavy whipping cream
-
1 pound fresh strawberries, chopped (plus more for topping if desired)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
-
In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar with a hand mixer on high for 5–6 minutes, until pale and thick.
-
Add vegetable oil, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix to combine.
-
Gently fold in the flour until fully incorporated.
-
Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the top springs back when touched.
-
While warm, invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off parchment paper, then roll the cake up in the towel. Let cool completely.
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
-
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
-
Unroll the cooled cake and spread with an even layer of filling. Sprinkle chopped strawberries over the filling.
-
Carefully re-roll the cake (without the towel).
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before slicing. Top with extra strawberries and a dusting of powdered sugar before serving if desired.
Notes
-
Make sure the cake is completely cool before adding the filling to prevent melting.
-
For clean slices, use a sharp knife and wipe between cuts.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
