- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (to taste)

- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- While the cake is still warm, turn it out onto a kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
- Peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake up in the towel from a short side. Let cool completely while rolled.
- Beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until fluffy.
- Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake.
- Roll the cake back up without the towel, wrapping it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
