Instructions
- Preheat & Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Grease lightly.
- Make the Cake Batter: Whisk eggs and sugar together until fluffy. Add strawberry puree, vanilla, and oil. Sift in flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix gently. If using, add pink food coloring.
- Bake & Roll: Spread the batter evenly in the pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cake springs back when touched. While warm, roll the cake (with the parchment paper) from the short end and let it cool.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add heavy cream and mix until fluffy.
- Fill & Re-Roll: Unroll the cooled cake, spread the cheesecake filling evenly, and roll it back up without the parchment paper. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Make the Strawberry Glaze: Mix powdered sugar, strawberry puree, and milk until smooth. Adjust consistency if needed.
- Prepare the Shortcake Crumble: Combine crushed vanilla wafers, melted butter, and sugar.
- Assemble & Serve: Drizzle the glaze over the chilled roll, sprinkle with crumble, and top with fresh strawberries. Slice and enjoy!
