Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper. ( 5 minutes)

Prepare the cake mix according to package directions, adding eggs, water, and oil. Mix until smooth. ( 3 minutes)

Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. ( 15-18 minutes)

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Then, invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel and carefully peel off the parchment paper. ( 10 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)

Serve the cheesecake rolls topped with fresh strawberries and some of the juices. ( 2 minutes)
