Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a jelly roll pan with cooking spray, line it with parchment paper, and lightly spray the top of the paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, vegetable oil, milk, lemon zest, vanilla, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg yolk mixture and stir until just combined.
- In a clean medium bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer on high speed for 2-3 minutes, or until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and beat for another 1-2 minutes, until stiff peaks form.
- Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the cake batter using a spatula or wooden spoon until fully incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown and the cake springs back when touched.
- While the cake bakes, place a clean tea towel on a flat surface and lightly dust it with powdered sugar. Once the cake is done, immediately invert it onto the towel, remove the parchment paper, and carefully roll the cake up in the towel starting from one end. Set it on a wire rack to cool completely.
- For Cream Cheese Filling:
- Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined.
- Once the cake has cooled, carefully unroll it and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface. Arrange the sliced strawberries on top, then roll the cake back up carefully.
- Wrap the rolled cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and set.
- Before serving, dust the cake with powdered sugar, slice, and enjoy!
