Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, blending until just combined.
Baking
- Pour your batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in your preheated oven for 12-15 minutes.
- The cake is done when the edges start to lift from the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Assembly
- While the cake is still warm, carefully roll it up in a clean kitchen towel, starting from the short end. Let it cool completely in this position.
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Once your cake has cooled, gently unroll it and spread the cream cheese filling over the entire surface, leaving a small margin on the edges.
- Drizzle the cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer.
- Roll the cake back up without the towel this time. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Once chilled, unwrap and slice the roll cake into beautiful round pieces. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Don’t panic if your first roll seems a little cracked; this cake is delicious so nobody will notice! Feel free to swap the cherry filling for other fruits like strawberries or blueberries. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days.
