Ingredients

For the Chocolate Sponge Cake:

  • 4 large eggs

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

For the Whipped Cream Filling:

  • 1½ cups heavy whipping cream

  • ¼ cup powdered sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For Filling & Decoration:

  • 1 cup cherry pie filling or fresh pitted cherries

  • 2 tbsp cherry liqueur (optional)

  • ½ cup chocolate shavings or curls

  • Fresh cherries, for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chocolate Sponge:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.

  • In a bowl, beat eggs and granulated sugar on high speed for 5 minutes, until thick and pale.

  • Gently fold in vanilla extract and sifted cocoa powder. Do not overmix.

  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.

  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched lightly.

2. Roll the Cake:

  • While still warm, carefully invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.

  • Peel off the parchment paper.

  • Gently roll the cake up in the towel from the short end. Let it cool completely while rolled to set its shape.

3. Make the Whipped Cream:

  • In a chilled mixing bowl, whip together heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

4. Assemble the Swiss Roll:

  • Gently unroll the cooled sponge cake.

  • Spread whipped cream evenly, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.

  • Add cherry pie filling or fresh cherries on top. Drizzle with cherry liqueur if using.

  • Carefully roll the cake back up, seam-side down.

5. Decorate:

  • Coat the outside with any remaining whipped cream.

  • Sprinkle with chocolate shavings or curls.

  • Garnish with fresh cherries for a beautiful Black Forest-inspired finish.

6. Chill & Serve:

  • Refrigerate the roll for at least 1 hour to firm up.

  • Slice and enjoy every decadent bite!

πŸŽ‚ Tip:

Use a serrated knife for clean slices, and wipe between cuts for a perfect presentation!

This Chocolate Cherry Swiss Roll is the ultimate blend of elegance and indulgence — light, rich, and bursting with cherry-chocolate flavor. A show-stopping dessert that’s sure to impress! πŸ«πŸ’βœ¨
