Ingredients:
4 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup cherry preserves
1/2 cup dark chocolate shavings
Fresh cherries for garnish
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until thick and pale. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Fold gently to combine.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched.
While the cake is baking, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Once the cake is baked, remove from the oven and immediately roll the cake in a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Let it cool completely.
Unroll the cooled cake and spread with cherry preserves, followed by the whipped cream. Re-roll the cake without the towel.
Transfer the roll to a serving platter, cover with remaining whipped cream, and garnish with dark chocolate shavings and fresh cherries.
