Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup strawberries, diced
Whipped cream, for topping

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture

Begin by beating the cream cheese until it is smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until well combined. Stir in vanilla extract and set the mixture aside.

Step 2: Make the Strawberry Mixture

In a separate bowl, combine chopped strawberries with a little sugar. Allow them to sit for about 10 minutes so that they can release their juices.

Step 3: Prepare the Roll

Take the sponge cake and slice it into even pieces. Lay the pieces out flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture over each piece.

Step 4: Add Strawberries

Evenly distribute the strawberry mixture over the cream cheese layer. Be sure to leave a small border around the edges.

Step 5: Roll It Up

Gently roll each piece starting at one end and continue until fully rolled. Use a gentle hand to ensure the filling stays inside.

Step 6: Cool the Rolls

Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour to set.

Step 7: Serve

Once chilled, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on a serving platter. Optionally, garnish with additional sliced strawberries or whipped cream.

Notes

Note 1:

For best results, use fresh strawberries. If unavailable, you may use frozen strawberries, but ensure that they are well-drained.

Note 2:

You can substitute the cream cheese with whipped topping if you prefer a lighter texture.

Note 3:

These rolls can be made a day in advance, making them a great option for parties or gatherings.
