Ingredients
4 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup cherry preserves
1/2 cup dark chocolate shavings
Fresh cherries for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Fold gently to combine.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched.
- While the cake is baking, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and immediately roll it in a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Let it cool completely.
- Unroll the cooled cake and spread with cherry preserves, followed by the whipped cream. Re-roll the cake without the towel.
- Transfer the roll to a serving platter, cover with remaining whipped cream, and garnish with dark chocolate shavings and fresh cherries.
Notes
For best results, chill the roll cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Use a serrated knife to cut the cake for clean slices.
If you need to freeze the cake, do so before adding the whipped cream and garnishes. Thaw in the refrigerator before decorating.
