Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Baking tray
  • Parchment paper
  • Clean kitchen towel
  • Plastic wrap

Ingredients

  • 1 cup wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup pure sugar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon powdered yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cherry filling
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • to taste Fresh cherries
  • to taste Chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 177°C (350°F) and prepare a 25x38 cm tray with parchment paper and grease it lightly.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  • Add vanilla extract, milk, and the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, yeast, and salt). Mix gently.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared tray and spread it evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  • Once baked, lift the cake with the parchment paper and place it on a clean, icing sugar-dusted cloth. Roll it tightly while warm.
  • Whip the cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Unroll the cake, spread the cream, and dot with cherry filling.
  • Roll the cake back up, wrap it in plastic film, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Unwrap the chilled roll, frost with more whipped cream, and garnish with fresh cherries and chocolate chips. Slice and serve.

Notes

You can use almond milk for a dairy-free option and replace fresh cherries with canned ones if needed. For a natural sweetness boost, consider substituting powdered sugar with honey. For an extra flavor kick, add a thin layer of cherry jam on the cake before the cream. This Chocolate Cherry Roll is also great to make ahead, as you can prepare it a day in advance and store it in the fridge until serving. Enjoy your baking adventure!
