Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Dairy and Sweet Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup crushed shortbread cookies
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Seasoning and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven to 350F (175C) and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage.
- Whisk eggs and granulated sugar vigorously until the mixture becomes light and airy with a fluffy texture.
- Incorporate flour, baking powder, salt, milk, and melted butter into the egg mixture, stirring until a smooth, consistent batter forms.
- Carefully distribute the batter across the prepared pan, using a spatula to create an even layer.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for a delicate golden hue that indicates perfect doneness.
- Immediately transfer the hot cake onto a clean towel, gently rolling it up to cool and create the initial cake shape.
- Create the filling by blending cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Separately whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then delicately fold into the cream cheese mixture to maintain volume.
- Unroll the cooled cake, spreading the cream cheese filling evenly across the surface and generously scattering fresh strawberries and crushed shortbread cookies.
- Carefully roll the cake back into its original cylindrical shape, ensuring a tight, even roll.
- Refrigerate the rolled dessert for a minimum of 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and structure to set before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Experiment with different cookie types like graham crackers or vanilla wafers for varied texture and flavor profiles.
- Ensure cake is completely cooled before adding filling to prevent cream from melting and losing structural integrity.
- Adjust sweetness by reducing powdered sugar if using very ripe, naturally sweet strawberries.
- For gluten-free version, substitute regular flour with almond or coconut flour and use gluten-free shortbread cookies.
