Ingredients
  

For the Sponge Cake
  • 1 cup Cake Flour A lighter flour that gives the sponge its airy texture.
  • 3 pieces Eggs Room temperature eggs whip better, contributing to a fluffy roll.
  • 3/4 cup Sugar Sweetens the cake for a balanced flavor.
For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Provides a rich and creamy base; substituting with Neufchâtel cheese can be a healthier option.
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Dust lightly for sweetness without grit.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Adds a lovely flavor; feel free to try almond extract for a unique taste.
For the Cherry Topping
  • 1 can Cherry Pie Filling Offers a perfect sweet and tart contrast; alternatively, fresh or frozen cherries can be made into a compote for a fresher taste.

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • spatula
  • parchment paper
  • Kitchen towel

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15x10-inch baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring the paper hangs over the edges for easy removal later.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat 3 room-temperature eggs and ¾ cup of sugar together until the mixture is thick and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Gently fold in 1 cup of cake flour using a spatula until no flour streaks remain.
  3. Spread the prepared batter evenly in the baking sheet, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in your preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cake is lightly golden.
  4. Once baked, immediately invert the sponge cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Slowly peel off the parchment paper and start rolling the cake tightly while it's still warm.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat 8 oz of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. Spread evenly over your cooled sponge cake.
  6. Dollop your cherry pie filling evenly over the cheesecake layer and gently spread it around.
  7. Start from one end, carefully rolling the cake back into a tight log using the towel for support. Place the cake seam-side down on a serving plate.
  8. Refrigerate your rolled cake for at least 1 hour. Dust the top lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
  9. Using a sharp knife, slice the cake into even pieces, serving immediately.

Notes

Roll the cake while it’s still warm to prevent cracking. Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother filling. Store leftovers tightly wrapped in the fridge for up to 3-4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
