# What You’ll Need:

→ Cake

01 - 4 large eggs, fresh
02 - 200 g granulated sugar
03 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
04 - 125 g all-purpose flour
05 - 1 tsp baking powder
06 - 1/4 tsp salt
07 - 120 ml whole milk
08 - 50 g fresh strawberries, finely chopped

→ Cheesecake filling

09 - 225 g cream cheese, softened
10 - 50 g powdered sugar
11 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
12 - 240 ml heavy whipping cream, chilled

→ Strawberry Oreo crumble

13 - 120 g Golden Oreo cookies, crushed
14 - 7 g strawberry gelatin powder
15 - 60 g unsalted butter, melted

→ Topping

16 - 120 g fresh strawberries, sliced
17 - 120 ml whipped cream, optional
18 - Strawberry sauce, optional drizzle

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Beat eggs and granulated sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer at high speed for about 8 minutes until pale and thick.
02 - Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold into the egg mixture with a spatula to maintain airiness.
03 - Fold in milk carefully, then gently stir chopped strawberries into the batter.
04 - Pour batter evenly into a 9x13 inch parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (177°C) for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden and springy to touch.
05 - Immediately roll the warm sponge with the parchment into a log shape to set. Allow to cool fully while rolled.
06 - Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks separately, then fold gently into cream cheese mixture.
07 - Unroll cooled sponge and spread cheesecake filling evenly. Reroll tightly without parchment, wrap in plastic film, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
08 - Combine crushed Golden Oreos, strawberry gelatin powder, and melted butter until crumbly and evenly coated.
09 - Spread a thin layer of cheesecake filling on the outside of the chilled roll, press the strawberry Oreo crumble over the surface, then garnish with sliced strawberries, whipped cream, and an optional drizzle of strawberry sauce.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - Rolling the sponge while warm prevents cracks and ensures a smooth shape.
02 - Chilling the roll before slicing yields clean, attractive cuts.
03 - Use room temperature ingredients in the filling for a smooth blend.
04 - Store leftovers wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
