Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs on high speed for about 5 minutes until they are thick and lemon-colored.
- Gradually beat in the granulated sugar until well incorporated.
- Stir in the water, vanilla extract, and almond extract until combined.
- Gently fold in the flour mixture using a spatula until just combined.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, sprinkle powdered sugar on a clean kitchen towel.
- Once the cake is done, immediately invert it onto the prepared towel. Gently peel off the parchment paper.
- Starting at the short end, roll up the cake in the towel. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Filling
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold this whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined and fluffy.
- Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over it.
- Sprinkle sliced strawberries over the cream cheese layer, ensuring even distribution.
- Roll up the cake again, without the towel. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Before slicing, dust with powdered sugar.
Notes
For an even better flavor, use Madagascar vanilla extract and fresh organic strawberries.
