Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 Eggs
- 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
- 8 ounces (226 grams) Cream cheese
- 1 cup Cherry pie filling
Dairy and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup Heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Powdered sugar
- Confectioners’ sugar (for dusting)
Leavening Agent:
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
Instructions
- Carefully prepare a jelly roll pan by lining it with parchment paper and ensuring the surface is smooth.
- Whip eggs and sugar together until they transform into a light, airy mixture with notable volume and pale coloration.
- Incorporate vanilla extract into the egg mixture, then gently fold in sifted flour and baking powder until just combined.
- Distribute the cake batter evenly across the prepared pan, creating a uniform layer that will ensure consistent baking.
- Transfer the pan to a preheated oven and bake until the cake develops a delicate golden hue and springs back when lightly touched.
- Immediately after removing from the oven, flip the warm cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
- Carefully roll the cake with the towel, allowing it to cool completely while maintaining its cylindrical shape.
- Whisk cream cheese until smooth, gradually blending in powdered sugar and heavy cream to create a silky cheesecake filling.
- Gently unroll the cooled cake, ensuring it remains intact during the process.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture across the interior surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Delicately spoon cherry filling over the cream cheese layer, distributing it evenly.
- Carefully re-roll the cake, tucking in the edges to seal the filling.
- Refrigerate the cake roll for several hours to allow flavors to meld and filling to set.
- Before serving, dust the exterior with a light layer of confectioners’ sugar for an elegant finish.
Notes
- Carefully spread batter evenly to ensure uniform thickness, preventing dry or tough spots in the cake roll.
- Roll the cake in a towel while warm to prevent cracking and help maintain flexibility for easier filling and rolling later.
- Swap fresh or frozen cherries based on seasonal availability, adjusting sweetness with additional sugar if needed.
- Replace wheat flour with a gluten-free blend to make the recipe suitable for those with wheat sensitivities.
