For the Strawberry Filling:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1.5 tsp of baking powder, and 1/4 tsp of salt. Stir in 3/4 cup of milk, 2 tbsp of melted unsalted butter, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the top springs back when lightly touched. Once baked, invert the cake onto a sugar-dusted towel and peel away the parchment. Roll the cake up in the towel from the short end and let it cool.
For the cheesecake filling, beat 8 oz of softened cream cheese until fluffy. Add 3/4 cup of powdered sugar and 1 tsp of vanilla extract, continuing to beat until smooth. Fold in 1/2 cup of whipped topping and set aside.
Mix 1 cup of diced fresh strawberries with 2 tbsp of sugar and allow them to macerate for a few minutes.
Unroll the cooled cake and spread the cheesecake filling evenly over it. Sprinkle with the macerated strawberries. Gently roll it back up without the towel. Chill in the refrigerator for about an hour.
Slice your delicious strawberry shortcake cheesecake roll and serve it to enjoy the layers of fruity, creamy perfection.
Serve chilled to enhance the flavors and texture of the fillings.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
