Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cherry pie filling (or fresh cherries)
- 1/2 cup whipped cream

- Fresh cherries, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- Beat the eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Fold this mixture into the egg mixture. Add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Pour into the pan and spread evenly.

- Unroll the cooled cake and spread the whipped cream filling. Top with cherry filling before rolling it back up.
- Spread whipped cream on top, then garnish with chocolate shavings and fresh cherries.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Best sliced to reveal the swirl of chocolate and cherries. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days or freeze before adding toppings for longer storage.
