Homemade Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake (Print Version)

Fluffy sponge cake rolled with creamy filling and topped with strawberry crumble and fresh berries.

# Ingredients:

→ Sponge Cake

01 - 4 large eggs
02 - ¾ cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
04 - ¾ cup all-purpose flour
05 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
06 - ¼ teaspoon salt
07 - ¼ cup whole milk
08 - ½ cup finely chopped strawberries

→ Cheesecake Filling

09 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened
10 - ½ cup powdered sugar
11 - 1 cup heavy whipping cream
12 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Strawberry Shortcake Crumble

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

→ Topping

16 - Fresh strawberries, sliced
17 - Whipped cream
18 - Drizzle of strawberry sauce

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat eggs and sugar until fluffy and pale, then add vanilla extract. Sift in flour, baking powder, and salt, folding gently. Add milk and fold in finely chopped strawberries. Spread evenly over the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
02 - While the cake is still warm, roll it (along with the parchment paper) into a log shape. Allow it to cool completely.
03 - Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
04 - Unroll the cooled cake and spread an even layer of cheesecake filling over the surface. Roll the cake back into shape, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
05 - Mix crushed golden Oreos, strawberry gelatin powder, and melted butter until a crumbly texture is achieved.
06 - Coat the chilled cake roll with an additional layer of cheesecake filling, then sprinkle the strawberry shortcake crumble over it. Top with whipped cream, a drizzle of strawberry sauce, and fresh strawberry slices before slicing and serving.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Rolling the cake while warm prevents cracking.
02 - Chilling the roll ensures a clean cut when slicing.
