Sponge cake rolled with creamy filling, strawberry crumble, whipped cream, and fresh berries.

# Ingredient List:

→ Sponge Cake

01 - 4 large eggs
02 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
04 - 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
05 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
06 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
07 - 1/4 cup whole milk
08 - 1/2 cup finely chopped strawberries

→ Cheesecake Filling

09 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
10 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar
11 - 1 cup heavy whipping cream
12 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Strawberry Shortcake Crumble

13 - 1 cup golden Oreo cookies, crushed
14 - 2 tablespoons strawberry gelatin powder
15 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

→ Topping

16 - Fresh strawberries, sliced
17 - Whipped cream
18 - Strawberry sauce for drizzling

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 9x13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until the mixture is pale and fluffy. Incorporate vanilla extract. Sift in all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt, gently folding to combine. Pour in whole milk and fold in chopped strawberries until just mixed.
02 - Spread batter evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until set. While warm, carefully roll cake with parchment into a log. Allow it to cool completely in the rolled shape to prevent cracking.
03 - In a stand mixer bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
04 - Carefully unroll the cooled cake. Evenly spread cheesecake filling over the surface. Roll the cake back into a tight log, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours until set.
05 - In a bowl, combine crushed golden Oreo cookies, strawberry gelatin powder, and melted butter. Stir until a crumbly texture forms.
06 - Remove chilled cake from the refrigerator. Coat the outside with additional cheesecake filling and sprinkle the crumble over the surface. Top with whipped cream, a drizzle of strawberry sauce, and arrange sliced fresh strawberries. Cut into rounds and serve.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - Ensure cake is rolled while warm to prevent cracking. Allowing it to cool in the rolled position helps retain the shape for filling.
