½ teaspoon baking powder
A pinch of salt

For the Cheesecake Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Crunch Roll Cake

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 15x10x1-inch pan. Trust me, you don’t want to skip this step!
Prepare the Cake Batter: In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the milk, vanilla extract, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined.
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth it out, and bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. The house will smell heavenly!
Create the Cheesecake Mixture: While the cake cools, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar in another bowl. Fold in the whipped cream and chopped strawberries. This is where the magic truly begins!
Roll the Cake: Once the cake has cooled, dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar and carefully invert the cake onto it. Spread the cheesecake mixture over the cake evenly, omitting the edges (trust me, don’t be tempted to spread it all the way to the edges; it will ooze out when you roll!).
Make the Crunch Topping: In a bowl, combine your crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and brown sugar. This step is like putting the cherry on top—except, well, it’s graham crackers!
Roll and Chill: Gently roll the cake up, starting from the end closest to you, using the towel to help. Wrap the rolled cake tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours.
Serve: Before serving, sprinkle your crunch topping over the cake and slice it up. Adorn with extra strawberries for that Instagram-worthy touch!

Cooking Tips

Fluffing Your Egg Whites: While you don’t need to separate your eggs, ensuring they’re at room temperature can make for a fluffier cake!
Graham Cracker Alternatives: No graham crackers? No problem! You can substitute with golden oreos or digestive biscuits. Just don’t blame me if you eat half the crust before it hits the cake!
