Ingredients
Scale
Cake Base:
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup (170 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup (90 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Finishing:
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan by lining it with parchment paper and heating the oven to 350F (175C).
- Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl, creating a dry ingredient base for the sponge cake.
- Whip eggs and sugar until they transform into a light, airy mixture, approximately 3-4 minutes. Incorporate vanilla extract and milk, then gently fold in the dry ingredients until just integrated.
- Distribute the batter evenly across the prepared pan, ensuring a smooth surface. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cake responds with a springy touch when lightly pressed.
- Immediately transfer the warm cake onto a kitchen towel generously dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully roll the cake from the short end, keeping the towel inside, and allow it to cool completely.
- Craft the creamy filling by blending softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until silky smooth. Gently fold in whipped heavy cream to create a luxurious texture.
- Delicately unroll the cooled sponge cake and apply the cheesecake filling in an even layer. Artfully spread the cherry pie filling atop the cheesecake layer.
- Carefully re-roll the cake, methodically peeling away the parchment paper during the process. Position the roll seam-side down on a decorative serving plate.
- Refrigerate the cake roll for a minimum of 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Keep the kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar to prevent the cake from sticking during the rolling process.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure a smooth and well-incorporated cheesecake filling.
- Carefully unroll the cake to avoid cracking, and spread the filling gently to maintain the cake’s delicate texture.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend and add a teaspoon of xanthan gum for better structure.
