This Black Forest Roll Cake combines the rich flavors of chocolate, fluffy whipped cream, and sweet cherries for a show-stopping dessert. Perfect for holidays, celebrations, or anytime you crave something indulgent! 🎉🍒
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:
2 cups heavy cream 🥛
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌸
1 can cherry pie filling 🍒
Chocolate shavings (for garnish) 🍫
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
Make the Cake Batter:
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is thick and pale.
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined.
Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
Prepare to Roll:
Lay a clean kitchen towel on the counter and generously dust it with powdered sugar. Immediately invert the hot cake onto the towel and carefully peel off the parchment paper.
Roll & Cool:
Starting from the short end, roll the cake and towel together. Allow it to cool completely while rolled.
Make the Filling:
In a bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Assemble the Roll Cake:
Carefully unroll the cooled cake. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the surface and spoon cherry pie filling over the cream.
Re-Roll & Garnish:
Gently roll the cake back up (without the towel) and place it seam side down on a serving platter. Garnish with chocolate shavings for an elegant finish.
Chill & Serve:
Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before slicing. Serve chilled and enjoy the rich flavors of this stunning dessert!
