Description
A delightful dessert recipe for Cherry Cheesecake Cake Roll, combining the flavors of cheesecake and cherry in a rolled cake.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper. Grease the parchment paper lightly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the milk and melted butter, mixing until just combined.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare a clean kitchen towel by sprinkling it with powdered sugar. Carefully invert the cake onto the towel and peel off the parchment paper.
- Starting from one short end, roll the cake up with the towel inside. Allow it to cool completely in this rolled shape for about 30 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
- Once the cake has cooled, unroll it carefully. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Spoon the cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer. Roll the cake back up tightly without the towel.
- Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Slice the cake roll into pieces and serve chilled.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, add 1/4 cup of cocoa powder to the cake batter.
- You can replace the cherry pie filling with your favorite fruit filling, such as strawberry or blueberry, for a different flavor.
