Chocolate roll with cherry and whipped cream is a refined dessert of European cuisine that captivates with the combination of airy biscuit, delicate cream, and juicy sour cherries. Its history traces back to traditional rolls popular in European pastry culture where thin dough was rolled with various fillings. The rich chocolate flavor of the dough harmonizes with the lightness of whipped cream, while the cherry adds a pleasant fresh tartness. This dessert is perfect for both festive gatherings and cozy tea times. Its texture is soft yet elastic, and the balance of sweetness and tartness makes each serving unique. Slightly chilled, it becomes even more exquisite, revealing the depth of chocolate and fruit flavors.

Cooking steps

1. Let's prepare a chocolate biscuit. We take 7 eggs and separate the yolks from the whites.

   Required ingredients:

   • Chicken egg: 7 pieces

2. Whip the egg whites to a thick foam, gradually add sugar (120 g) and continue mixing, then add the yolks one by one, and after the yolks, add cocoa.

   Required ingredients:

   • Sugar: 250 g
   • Chicken egg: 7 pieces
   • Cocoa: 70 g

3. We line a rectangular mold with parchment and brush it with vegetable oil (one end of the paper should be longer for easier removal of the finished biscuit from the mold).

4. Place the thick batter (similar in consistency to pancakes) in a mold and put it in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 10-15 minutes, checking with a toothpick (if you poke the finished batter, it should come out dry).

5. For the cream, whip the cream with the remaining sugar (130 g) until thick foam.

   Required ingredients:

   • Cream 38%: 250 ml
   • Sugar: 250 g

6. Let the baked biscuit rest, and while it's still warm, remove it from the mold with the paper, gently helping with a knife, roll it up — let it sit rolled until completely cool.

7. Thaw the cherries in advance and drain the juice. Unroll the cold roll, spread cream on it, sprinkle with cherries, and carefully roll it up with the seam down. Place in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.

   Required ingredients:

   • Cherry: 200 g

8. Cut into 10 portions and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

   Required ingredients:

   • Powdered sugar with vanilla: 20 g
