3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

Cheesecake Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup heavy cream, cold

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
Beat eggs for 4–5 minutes until pale and thick. Gradually add sugar and vanilla.
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold into egg mixture.
Spread batter into pan and bake for 10–12 minutes.
Turn cake onto a powdered sugar-dusted towel. Remove parchment and roll it gently. Let it cool completely.
For the filling, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Whip cream separately, then fold into cream cheese. Add diced strawberries.
Unroll the cooled cake, spread filling evenly, and roll it back up (without towel). Chill wrapped roll for at least 1 hour.
Mix crushed cookies with melted butter for the crumb topping.
Slice the roll, press crumbs on sides, and top each piece with whipped cream and a strawberry half.
