Preparation

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Add in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract for added flavor.

In another bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Gradually mix into the cream cheese mixture until just combined to avoid overmixing.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Spread half of the cheesecake filling onto it, leaving some space around the edges.
Cut the strawberries into thin slices and arrange them in an overlapping pattern on top of the cheesecake mixture.

Roll up the dough tightly from one end to form a log shape. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Tips and Tricks
