Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Cake
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 3 large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1/4 cup Butter, melted
Cherry Filling
- 1 cup Cherries, pitted and chopped
- 1 cup Whipped Cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake Batter: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and baking powder. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until well combined.
- Bake the Cake: Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and pour the batter evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool slightly before moving to the next step.
- Roll the Cake: Once the cake is cool enough to handle, carefully invert it onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off the parchment paper and start rolling the cake tightly with the towel. Let it cool completely in this rolled position.
- Prepare the Filling: While the cake cools, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the fresh cherries until evenly distributed.
- Assemble the Swiss Roll: Unroll the cooled cake and spread the cherry filling evenly over the surface. Carefully re-roll the cake without the towel this time, ensuring the filling stays intact. Place it seam-side down on a serving platter.
Notes
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients for better texture.
- Don’t Overmix to keep the cake light and fluffy.
- Chill the Filling slightly before spreading for better consistency.
- Practice Rolling; it will still taste amazing even if not perfect.
- Dust with Cocoa Powder or powdered sugar before serving for a beautiful finish.
