Instructions

Preparation: Lay your cooled sponge cake flat on a piece of parchment paper or a rolling mat, ensuring it’s ready for the delicious layers to come.
Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: Beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped cream to maintain a light texture.
Layer the Cake: Spread a layer of strawberry preserves evenly over the sponge cake surface. Pour the cream cheese mixture on top, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the diced fresh strawberries over the cream cheese layer.
Roll the Cake: Starting from one short end, carefully roll the cake into a tight log using the parchment paper to help keep it firm and intact.
Chill: Place the rolled cake log into the refrigerator and chill for about 20 to 30 minutes to allow it to set and hold its shape.
Slice and Serve: Use a sharp knife to cut the chilled roll into 1-inch pieces. Arrange these on a serving platter, drizzle with white chocolate if desired, and garnish with mint leaves and extra whipped cream.

Notes

Use a freshly baked or high-quality store-bought sponge cake for best texture.
Adjust the amount of powdered sugar based on your preferred sweetness.
Keep the roll chilled to ensure clean slicing.
For a dairy-free option, substitute cream cheese and whipped cream with vegan alternatives.
The white chocolate drizzle is optional but adds a lovely sweetness and decorative touch.
