Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper, lightly greasing it.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat four eggs and one cup of granulated sugar on high speed for about 5 minutes.
- Sift together one cup of all-purpose flour, one-third cup of cocoa powder, one teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl.
- Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Immediately flip the cake onto a kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar, rolling it up tightly while still warm.
- In a chilled mixing bowl, whip one cup of heavy cream with half a cup of powdered sugar and one teaspoon of vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Once the cake has cooled, unroll it and spread the cherry cream filling over the surface, then re-roll the cake.
- For the ganache, heat half a cup of heavy cream, then pour it over eight ounces of chopped chocolate and two tablespoons of butter, stirring until smooth.
- Drizzle the ganache generously over the rolled cake and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Before serving, garnish with whipped cream, whole cherries, and chocolate curls, then slice and enjoy.

Notes
Ensure room temperature eggs for better volume when whipped. Use a serrated knife to slice for cleaner cuts.
