1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Caramel Cream Filling:

1/2 cup caramel sauce
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese or cream cheese
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1/2 cup chopped cherries (fresh or well-drained maraschino cherries)
For the Chocolate Ganache:
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
For Decoration:
Extra cherries (fresh or maraschino)
Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
❤️ Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a jelly roll pan (or a baking sheet with sides) with parchment paper, making sure the paper extends up the sides.
2. Prepare the Chocolate Cake Roll:
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Beat Eggs and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale. Add vanilla extract.
Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined.
Bake: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Roll Cake: Immediately turn the cake out onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Roll the cake up with the towel while still warm.
3. Prepare the Caramel Cream Filling:
Whip Cream: Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Mix Caramel Cream: In another bowl, combine caramel sauce, mascarpone cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth.
Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the caramel mixture. Then fold in the chopped cherries.
4. Assemble the Cake Roll:
Unroll and Fill: Unroll the cooled cake carefully. Spread the caramel cream filling evenly over the cake.
Re-roll: Re-roll the cake without the towel and place it seam-side down on a serving plate.
5. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache:
Heat Cream: Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer.
Make Ganache: Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and glossy.
6. Finish the Cake:
Add Ganache: Pour the ganache over the rolled cake, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Decorate: Garnish with whole cherries on top. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
7. Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the cake until the ganache is set.
Slice and enjoy!
Enjoy this delightful chocolate forest roll cake, a perfect blend of flavors and textures for a memorable dessert experience! 😋
