Ingredients
For the Sponge Cake:
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (whipped to stiff peaks)
For the Strawberry Compote:
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
Topping:
- Extra powdered sugar, for dusting
- Fresh strawberry halves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a jelly roll pan (10×15″) with parchment paper and lightly grease.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar together until thick, pale, and fluffy (5–7 minutes).
- Gently fold in flour, baking powder, vanilla, and melted butter until just combined.
- Pour batter into prepared pan, spread evenly, and bake for 10–12 minutes or until sponge springs back to the touch.
- Turn the cake out onto a sugar-dusted kitchen towel and peel off parchment. Roll the cake up with the towel and let cool.
- For the filling, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped cream.
- In a saucepan, cook strawberries and sugar over medium heat until soft and syrupy (about 10 minutes). Let cool.
- Unroll the cooled sponge. Spread cheesecake filling evenly over the surface, then top with cooled strawberry compote.
- Gently roll the cake back up (without towel), wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 1–2 hours.
- Slice, dust with powdered sugar, and garnish with strawberry halves if desired.
