This Strawberry Cream Oven Baked Pancake Roll is made with simple ingredients you likely already have at home.

For the Oven Baked Pancake

• Eggs

• Neutral vegetable oil

These ingredients create a soft, flexible oven baked pancake that rolls easily without cracking.

For the Cream Filling

• Heavy cream (33% fat)

How to Make Strawberry Cream Oven Baked Pancake Roll

Follow these simple steps to make a soft and flexible oven baked pancake that rolls perfectly with a creamy strawberry filling.

Step 1: Make the Pancake Batter

First, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and sugar until smooth.

Next, pour in half of the milk and mix well. Then add the flour and stir until a thick batter forms.

After that, gradually add the remaining milk while mixing. This method helps prevent lumps and creates a smooth texture.

Finally, stir in the vegetable oil.

The batter should be fluid but not too thin.

Step 2: Bake the Pancake

Line a baking tray (about 35 × 25 cm) with good-quality parchment paper.

Pour the batter onto the tray and spread it evenly into a thin layer.

Bake at 190–200°C (375–400°F) for 20–25 minutes, or until lightly golden and set.

Important:
If your tray is larger, slightly increase the ingredients.
If it is smaller, reduce them.

The pancake should stay thin. A thin sheet makes rolling much easier.

Step 3: Prepare the Cream Filling

While the pancake cools, whip the cold heavy cream with sugar until soft peaks form.

Then add the cream cheese and continue whipping until thick and smooth.

If desired, add a little vanilla for extra flavor.

The cream should be stable but still light.

Step 4: Assemble the Pancake Roll

Carefully transfer the baked pancake onto a clean sheet of parchment paper.

Spread the cream evenly over the surface. Then add sliced strawberries or your favorite berries.

Now gently roll the pancake into a tight roll. Wrap it in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container.

Chill for at least 2 hours. For best results, refrigerate overnight.

Overnight chilling improves the texture and flavor.

Step 5: Serve

Before serving, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with condensed milk, chocolate, or Nutella.

Slice and enjoy your Strawberry Cream Oven Baked Pancake Roll.

Tips for the Best Results

• Adjust the ingredients to your baking tray size.
  The pancake should stay relatively thin. If your tray is larger, slightly increase the batter. If it is smaller, reduce it. A thinner sheet rolls much more easily and prevents cracking.
• Use good-quality parchment paper.
  This prevents sticking and makes transferring the pancake much easier. If the pancake sticks, it may tear when rolling.
• Do not overbake.
  Bake just until set and lightly golden. Overbaking can dry out the pancake, making it harder to roll smoothly.
• Add a little vanilla extract or vanillin.
  This enhances the flavor and helps balance the egg aroma. Once chilled, the pancake roll will smell soft and pleasantly sweet rather than eggy.
• Let the pancake cool slightly before spreading the cream.
  If it is too warm, the cream may melt and become unstable.
• Chill before slicing.
  Refrigerating the roll for at least two hours (or overnight) allows the cream to set and the flavors to blend. The texture improves, and the slices look much cleaner.
  

Can I make this Strawberry Cream Oven Baked Pancake Roll ahead of time?

Yes. It actually tastes better after chilling. Prepare it a few hours in advance or leave it overnight in the refrigerator for best texture.

Can I use frozen berries?

Yes, but thaw and drain them well first. Too much moisture can make the filling watery.

Is this pancake roll very sweet?

No. It is lightly sweet, which makes it suitable for both breakfast and dessert. You can adjust the sugar in the cream to your taste.

How should I store it?

Wrap tightly or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It stays fresh for up to 2 days.

Can I freeze this pancake roll?

Freezing is not recommended. The cream filling may lose its smooth texture after thawing.
