Ingredients:
For the cake:
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
For the filling:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup cherry pie filling
- Chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly to the edges.
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
6. While the cake is baking, lay a clean kitchen towel on the counter and dust it with powdered sugar.
7. Once the cake is done, immediately invert it onto the prepared towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
8. Roll the cake and towel together from the short end. Let it cool completely.
9. In a bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
10. Carefully unroll the cake and spread the whipped cream over the surface. Spoon the cherry pie filling evenly over the whipped cream.
11. Roll the cake back up without the towel. Place it seam side down on a serving platter.
12. Garnish with chocolate shavings on top.
13. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
