Description

The Black Forest Cream Roll Cake is an elegant twist on the classic Black Forest cake. Featuring a fluffy cocoa sponge, rich whipped cream filling, and topped with sweet cherries, this dessert is perfect for any special occasion. With a delightful combination of chocolate, cream, and fruit, it's an indulgent yet light treat that will impress at holidays, birthdays, or any celebration.

Ingredients

For the Sponge Cake:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Filling:

  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • Fresh or maraschino cherries (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer).
  3. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder together, then gently fold into the egg mixture, careful not to deflate the batter.
  4. Mix in the milk and vanilla extract, ensuring everything is well incorporated.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Once baked, remove from the oven and immediately turn the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
  7. Peel off the parchment paper and gently roll the cake up with the towel inside. Let it cool completely while rolled.
  8. Whip the heavy cream in a mixing bowl until stiff peaks form.
  9. Once cooled, unroll the cake and spread the whipped cream evenly over the surface.
  10. Roll the cake back up (without the towel) and place it seam-side down on a serving platter.
  11. Garnish with whipped cream and cherries. Slice and serve!

Notes

  • For extra indulgence, drizzle melted chocolate or ganache over the finished roll cake.
  • Customize with fruit like fresh cherries or raspberries for added flavor.
  • Dairy-Free Version: Use a non-dairy whipped cream alternative made from coconut or soy milk.
