Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1g) salt
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

For the cheesecake filling:

  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (150g) pitted cherries, chopped

For the cherry topping:

  • 1 cup (150g) pitted cherries
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon (15ml) water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15 inch (25×38 cm) jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale, about 5 minutes.
  3. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold into egg mixture gently.
  4. Stir in milk and vanilla extract until just combined.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes until cake springs back when touched.
  6. While cake is baking, dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar.
  7. Immediately invert hot cake onto towel. Carefully peel off parchment paper.
  8. Starting from short end, roll cake with towel inside. Let cool completely on wire rack.
  9. For filling, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. In another bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture, then fold in chopped cherries.
  10. Unroll cooled cake, spread filling evenly, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border. Re-roll cake without towel.
  11. For topping, combine cherries, sugar, and lemon juice in saucepan. Cook over medium heat until cherries release juices, about 5 minutes. Stir in cornstarch mixture and cook until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Cool slightly.
  12. Spread cherry topping over cake roll. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

  • Cream Cheese Consistency: Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for a silky smooth filling.
