Description
A delightful and decadent cherry cheesecake cake roll that combines the flavors of cheesecake and cherry pie in a soft, 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
- 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.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until thick and pale, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and milk.
- Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- While the cake is baking, prepare a clean kitchen towel by dusting it with powdered sugar.
- Once the cake is done, immediately invert it onto the prepared towel.
- Carefully peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake up in the towel, starting from the short end. Let it cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Add the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract, then beat until stiff peaks form.
- Unroll the cooled cake and spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the surface.
- Spoon the cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer.
- Roll the cake back up tightly, using the towel to help.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, substitute 1/4 cup of the flour with cocoa powder.
- For added texture, fold in crushed graham crackers into the cream cheese filling before spreading it on the cake.
