Instructions:
1. Prepare the Sponge Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until the mixture becomes thick and pale (about 5-7 minutes).
Gently fold in the sifted flour, baking powder, and salt in small batches to retain the air in the batter. Add vanilla extract and mix gently.
Pour the batter into the prepared tray and spread evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden.
2. Roll the Cake:
Once baked, invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake gently with the towel while still warm. Let it cool completely.
3. Prepare the Filling:
Whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Unroll the cooled cake and spread the whipped cream evenly over the surface. Add the cherry filling, leaving a slight border.
4. Assemble the Swiss Roll:
Roll the cake back tightly without the towel, ensuring the filling stays inside. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
5. Decorate:
Spread whipped cream over the roll. Top with fresh cherries, grated chocolate, and a drizzle of melted chocolate if desired.
6. Serve:
Slice and enjoy this delicious cherry chocolate Swiss roll!
