Ingredients

Scale

Sponge Cake

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped

Cherry Filling

  • 1 cup cherry pie filling (or fresh cherries, pitted and cooked with sugar)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. Make the Sponge Cake: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add vanilla extract and milk, and gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  5. Roll the Cake: While the cake is still warm, turn it out onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Gently roll the cake (starting from the short end) with the towel inside, and let it cool completely.
  6. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the whipped heavy cream.
  7. Assemble the Cake Roll: Carefully unroll the cooled sponge cake and spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the cake. Spread the cherry pie filling on top of the cheesecake layer.
  8. Gently re-roll the cake, peeling away the parchment paper as you go. Place the roll seam-side down on a serving plate.
  9. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a fresh cherry filling, cook pitted cherries with sugar and cornstarch until thickened.
  • You can dust the top with powdered sugar or drizzle melted chocolate for extra decoration.
  • The cake roll can be made a day ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve.
