Description
A delicious roll cake filled with cherry pie filling and whipped cream, decorated with fresh cherries and shaved chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup cherry pie filling
- Fresh cherries
- Shaved chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer on high speed for about 5 minutes, until thick and pale.
- Add the milk and vanilla extract, beating until combined.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to deflate the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- While the cake is baking, prepare a clean kitchen towel and sprinkle it with powdered sugar.
- Once the cake is done, immediately invert it onto the towel and peel off the parchment paper.
- Roll the cake up in the towel from the short side and let it cool completely.
- For the filling, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Once the cake is cool, unroll it and spread a layer of whipped cream, followed by the cherry pie filling.
- Roll the cake back up without the towel, and top with additional whipped cream, fresh cherries, and shaved chocolate.
Notes
- This cake can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
- Feel free to substitute the cherry pie filling with your favorite fruit filling.
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate cocoa powder.
