Instructions
1. Make the Sponge Cake
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 10×15-inch baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs for about 5 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Slowly mix in the milk, oil, and vanilla extract.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter evenly onto the baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes, until the cake is springy to the touch.
2. Roll the Cake
- While the cake is still warm, dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar and carefully flip the cake onto the towel.
- Gently peel off the parchment paper, then roll the cake tightly with the towel to create a spiral shape.
- Let it cool completely while rolled to prevent cracks.
3. Make the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Add heavy cream and beat until fluffy.
- Fold in chopped strawberries and strawberry jam, mixing gently.
4. Prepare the Shortcake Crumble Topping
- Crush the Golden Oreos into crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
- Mix the crumbs with melted butter and strawberry gelatin powder until combined.
5. Assemble the Rolls
- Unroll the cooled sponge cake and spread an even layer of cheesecake filling over the surface.
- Carefully roll the cake back up, this time without the towel.
- Slice into individual rolls and coat the tops with the shortcake crumble topping.
6. Garnish & Serve
- Top each roll with whipped cream and fresh strawberry slices.
- Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
- Chill for 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to set.
