🍫🍒 Swiss Chocolate Cherry Roll Cake 🍒🍫
A delightful and elegant dessert that features a light chocolate sponge cake rolled with luscious whipped cream and tart cherry filling, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
For the Cake:
• 4 large eggs
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
For the Whipped Cream Filling:
• 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Filling and Decoration:
• 1 cup cherry pie filling or fresh cherries
• 2 tablespoons cherry liqueur (optional)
• 1/2 cup chocolate shavings or curls
• Fresh cherries for decoration
Directions:
Prepare the Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
Make the Cake Batter: In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until thick and pale. Stir in the vanilla extract and cocoa powder until well 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.
Roll the Cake: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Carefully invert it onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake up with the towel, starting from the short end. Allow it to cool completely in this rolled shape.
Prepare the Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Unroll and Fill the Cake: Once the cake is cool, gently unroll it. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the cake, leaving a small border around the edges. Spoon the cherry filling over the whipped cream, and drizzle with cherry liqueur if using.
Roll the Cake Again: Carefully roll the cake back up without the towel, starting from the short end. Place the seam side down on a serving platter.
Decorate: Spread any remaining whipped cream on top of the cake and sprinkle with chocolate shavings. Garnish with fresh cherries for a beautiful presentation.
Serve: Slice the cake into pieces and enjoy this decadent Swiss Chocolate Cherry Roll Cake!
