Ingredients You’ll Need

Before we dive into crafting this sweet creation, let’s gather the necessary ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

For the Cake:

• 2 cups of cake flour
• 1 cup of sugar
• ½ cup of unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup of milk
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon of baking powder
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 2 packages (8 oz. each) of cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup of powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 cup of heavy whipping cream

For the Strawberry Topping:

• 2 cups of fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 2 tablespoons of sugar (optional, depending on your sweetness preference)
• Whipped cream (for serving)

Steps to Make the Strawberry Shortcake Roll Cheesecake Cake

Are you ready to create some magic in your kitchen? Let’s get rolling (pun intended) with these simple steps!

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 15×10 inch jelly roll pan with cooking spray, and line the bottom with parchment paper. This will help our cake release easily—because no one wants a sticky situation!

2. Mix the Cake Batter: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Next, add in the softened butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat everything together until smooth.

3. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once done, let it cool for a few minutes.

4. Roll It Up: While the cake is still warm, carefully turn it out onto a clean kitchen towel sprinkled with powdered sugar. This will keep your cake from sticking. Gently roll it up with the towel inside, starting at one short end. Allow it to cool completely while rolled, letting it adopt that lovely shape.

5. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In another bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.

6. Assemble the Cake: Unroll the cooled cake and spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the top. Finish by placing the sliced strawberries all over the cheesecake layer. Now, carefully re-roll the cake, this time without the towel!

7. Chill: Wrap the rolled cake tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2-4 hours (or overnight if you can resist!).

8. Serve and Enjoy: When you’re ready to serve, slice the cake into beautiful spirals, drizzle with whipped cream, and maybe add an extra sprinkle of strawberries for good measure. Voila! You’ve made dessert dreams come true.

Cooking Tips for Your Strawberry Shortcake Roll Cheesecake Cake

• Don’t Skip the Chilling: Allowing the cake to chill not only enhances the flavors but also helps everything set nicely. Plus, it gives you a moment to breathe between baking and feasting!
• Swap Those Berries: While strawberries are the stars here, feel free to mix it up! Blueberries, raspberries, or even peaches would be fantastic alternatives, depending on what you have on hand or what’s in season.
• Crown It Right: Top with some store-bought or homemade whipped cream right before serving for that “wow” factor. Because let’s be real—a little extra whipped cream never hurt anyone!
