Ingredients
  

4 large eggs, room temperature

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1 cup pitted cherries (fresh or jarred, drained)

2 tablespoons cherry liqueur (optional)

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate shavings or chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
    Beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale. Fold in sifted flour, cocoa, and salt with vanilla extract.
    Pour batter into pan, spread evenly, and bake 12–15 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
    Transfer warm sponge to a powdered sugar-dusted towel and roll gently to cool.
    Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
    Unroll cooled sponge, spread whipped cream, add cherries and optional cherry liqueur.
    Roll sponge tightly, cover with remaining whipped cream, sprinkle with chocolate shavings, and chill for 1 hour before slicing.
