Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper. ( 5 minutes)

While the cake is cooling, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. ( 3 minutes)
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. ( 3-4 minutes)
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined. ( 2 minutes)
Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the cooled cake, leaving a small border around the edges. ( 3 minutes)
Roll the cake up tightly from one end using the towel to help guide it. ( 5 minutes)
Slice the roll into 1-inch pieces. ( 3 minutes)
For the strawberry topping: Mix sliced strawberries with sugar and let sit for 10 minutes to release their juices. ( 10 minutes)
