Sponge Cake:
4 large eggs, room temperature
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp cornstarch
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
Cheesecake Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
¾ cup heavy whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
Strawberry Layer:
¾ cup diced fresh strawberries
2 tbsp strawberry jam (optional)
Topping:
Whipped cream or extra cheesecake filling
Strawberry shortcake crumble
Extra fresh strawberries
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 10×15″ jelly roll pan with greased parchment paper.
Beat eggs and sugar until pale and tripled in volume, 6–8 minutes.
Gently fold in sifted flour, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla.
Pour into pan and bake 10–12 minutes. Turn out onto powdered-sugar-dusted towel and roll up while warm. Cool.
Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped cream.
Unroll cake, spread jam (if using), then add filling and strawberries. Reroll gently.
Chill 2–4 hours. Top with whipped cream and crumble. Slice and serve.
Roll the cake while warm to avoid cracks.
Use fresh or stabilized whipped cream for topping.
Crumble adds texture and visual appeal.
