Ingredients

Scale

Shortcake Base

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Topping

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • Additional powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shortcake Base: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the eggs with granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Fold in vanilla extract, then gradually incorporate the dry ingredients, mixing gently to keep the batter airy. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: While the cake cools, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, blending until silky. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a light, luscious filling.
  3. Roll and Assemble: Once the shortcake base is completely cooled, invert it onto a clean kitchen towel lightly dusted with powdered sugar to prevent sticking. Carefully peel off the parchment paper. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the cake surface. Arrange the sliced fresh strawberries over the filling. Starting at one edge, gently roll the cake using the towel to help guide it, being careful to keep the roll tight without squeezing out the filling.
  4. Chill and Serve: Wrap the rolled cake tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to firm up. When ready to serve, slice the roll into generous pieces and garnish with extra strawberry slices or a dusting of powdered sugar for a beautiful presentation.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs for the creamiest filling.
  • Do not overbake the cake to maintain its moistness and pliability.
  • Fresh, ripe strawberries provide the best texture and flavor; if using frozen, drain thoroughly.
  • Roll the cake while it’s still warm (not hot) to avoid cracking.
  • Chill the roll thoroughly before slicing to keep its shape and firmness.
