Ingredients:
For the Chocolate Sponge Cake:
4 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup water
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
For the Cherry Filling:
1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
1/4 cup kirsch (cherry liqueur) or cherry juice
For the Whipped Cream:
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
For Garnish:
1/2 cup grated dark chocolate
Fresh cherries (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and grease the paper.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs on high speed until thick and lemon-colored. Gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Stir in water and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the egg mixture, beating until just blended.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched. Immediately turn the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off the parchment paper. Roll up the cake in the towel, starting with the short side. Cool completely on a wire rack.
For the Cherry Filling:
In a bowl, combine the cherry pie filling and kirsch (or cherry juice). Set aside.
For the Whipped Cream:
In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
For Assembly:
Unroll the cooled cake and spread an even layer of the cherry filling over the cake.
Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the cherry filling.
Gently reroll the cake and place it seam side down on a serving platter.
Frost the outside of the cake roll with the remaining whipped cream.
Garnish with grated dark chocolate and fresh cherries, if desired.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
