Garnish with optional white chocolate drizzle, extra whipped cream, and fresh mint leaves for an elegant presentation.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Sponge Cake

  • 1 sponge cake sheet (approx. 10×15 inches, homemade or store-bought)

For the Filling

  • 8 ounces (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whipped cream
  • 1 ½ cups (225 g) fresh strawberries, diced
  • 3 tablespoons (45 g) strawberry preserves or jam

Optional Garnishes

  • White chocolate drizzle
  • Extra whipped cream
  • Mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cake: Lay the cooled sponge cake flat on a sheet of parchment paper or a rolling mat to keep it smooth and secure as you assemble the roll.
  2. Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Gently fold in the whipped cream to maintain its airy texture.
  3. Assemble the roll: Evenly spread the strawberry preserves over the entire surface of the sponge cake. Next, spread the cream cheese and whipped cream mixture evenly over the preserves. Finally, sprinkle the diced fresh strawberries uniformly on top.
  4. Roll: Starting from one short end of the cake, use the parchment paper to carefully roll the cake into a tight log shape. Make sure to keep it firm but gentle to avoid cracking. Once rolled, wrap it tightly and chill in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes to help set the shape.
  5. Slice and serve: Using a sharp knife, slice the chilled roll into 1-inch thick pieces. Arrange these on a serving platter. For an elegant touch, drizzle with white chocolate, add dollops of extra whipped cream, and garnish with fresh mint leaves as desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Using a parchment paper or silicone baking mat while rolling helps prevent sticking and makes rolling easier.
  • Chilling the roll is important to keep its shape and make slicing easier.
  • Strawberries should be fresh and well-drained to avoid sogginess.
  • You can substitute strawberry preserves with any other berry jam for a different flavor.
  • For a more decadent touch, drizzle with melted white chocolate or sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
