Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs, separated and at room temperature
- ¾ cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting)
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened completely
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1½ cups heavy whipping cream, cold
- ¼ cup strawberry jam or preserves
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang.
- In a bowl, beat egg yolks with ½ cup sugar until thick and pale yellow. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In another clean bowl, whip egg whites to soft peaks. Gradually add ¼ cup sugar and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Gently fold flour and salt into yolk mixture, then fold in whipped whites in three parts to preserve volume.
- Spread batter evenly in prepared pan and bake 12–15 minutes. Turn cake out onto a towel dusted with powdered sugar and roll up while warm. Cool rolled for 1 hour.
- Beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and beat well. Whip cream separately, then fold into cheese mix with strawberry jam.
- Combine strawberries, 2 tbsp sugar, and lemon juice. Let sit 15 minutes. Whip cream with 2 tbsp powdered sugar and ½ tsp vanilla until soft peaks form.
- Unroll cooled cake, spread cheesecake filling evenly, and re-roll (no towel). Wrap in plastic and chill at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Slice ends off roll, cut into 1-inch slices. Top with strawberries and whipped cream before serving.
Notes
For best results, use room temperature eggs, softened cream cheese, and don’t skip the towel rolling step. A sharp knife ensures clean slices.
