Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
Cake:
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup (170 grams) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) sugar
Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) heavy cream
Cherry Filling:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) cherry pie filling
Secondary Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting)
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the oven to 350F (175C) and line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, lightly coating with non-stick spray.
- Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl, creating a uniform dry ingredient mixture.
- Vigorously whip eggs and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and significantly increases in volume, approximately 5 minutes. Incorporate vanilla extract and gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Distribute the batter evenly across the prepared pan, ensuring a smooth surface. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cake appears set and responds with a gentle spring when lightly touched.
- Immediately after baking, transfer the warm cake onto a kitchen towel generously dusted with powdered sugar. Delicately remove the parchment paper and carefully roll the cake within the towel, beginning from the shorter side. Allow the cake to cool completely.
- Prepare the creamy filling by blending cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until achieving a silky smooth consistency. Gently fold in whipped cream to create a light, airy texture.
- Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the cheesecake mixture evenly across the surface. Distribute cherry pie filling uniformly over the cream layer.
- Gently roll the cake back into its original shape, securing the filling inside. Refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour to set and enhance flavor before serving.
Notes
- Prevent cake cracking by rolling the warm cake in a powdered sugar-coated towel immediately after baking, which helps create flexibility and prevents breaking.
- Use room temperature ingredients like cream cheese and eggs to ensure smooth, lump-free filling and easier mixing.
- For a lighter texture, gently fold ingredients and avoid overmixing the batter, which can develop tough gluten and deflate the delicate cake structure.
- Swap cherry pie filling with fresh berries or alternate fruit preserves for personalized flavor variations and dietary preferences like low-sugar or fruit-forward options.
