Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 15x10x1 inch jelly roll pan.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Add the vanilla and milk, blending until smooth.
- Gradually stir in the flour mixture until combined.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cooling and Filling
- Let the cake cool for about 5 minutes. On a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar, carefully invert the cake onto the towel and roll it up, towel and all. Let it cool completely.
- Mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth. Stir in the strawberry puree.
Assembly
- Unroll the cooled cake gently. Spread the filling evenly over the surface, then roll it back up without the towel.
- Mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar for the crunch topping. Sprinkle generously over the rolled cake, pressing gently to adhere.
Final Touches
- Slice the roll into 1-inch pieces and serve.
Notes
Don’t sweat it if your cake cracks a bit—it adds character! You can use other fruits like blueberries or raspberries for a delightful twist. Store leftovers in the fridge, chilled, for up to 3 days.
