What a delicious dessert to make with canned cherries: a recipe for sponge cake roll

Right now is the best time to use the cherries you've preserved for the winter. Berries can be a great filling for a fluffy sweet roll. For a family tea party, this is exactly what you need.

The idea of making chocolate roll with canned cherries was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Victoria Panasiuk (viktoria.panasiuk). The dough is very fluffy.

Ingredients for the sponge cake:

• 3 eggs
• 80 g. sugar
• 10 g. vanilla sugar
• a pinch of salt
• 65 g of flour
• 10 g of potato starch
• 15 g of cocoa powder
• 0.5 tsp. baking powder

Ingredients:

• 150 g cream 33%.
• 150 g of mascarpone (you can use Philadelphia)
• 3 tbsp of icing sugar

Ingredients for the filling:

• 150 g pitted cherries
• 40 g of sugar
• 5 g of corn starch (can be potato)
• 10 g of rum

Method of preparation:

1. Add sugar, vanilla sugar, salt to the eggs and beat very well. The mass should double in size and lighten.

2. Sift the flour with the baking powder, cocoa, starch into the dough and gently knead from the bottom/up with a spatula.

3. Spread the dough evenly on a baking sheet covered with parchment and bake in a preheated 180 degree oven for 10 minutes.

4. Roll the hot sponge cake together with the parchment on which it was baked and leave it to cool to room temperature. This should be done quickly when the sponge cake cools down - the roll will break when rolled.

5. Add the sugar and starch to the cherries, bring to a boil, add the rum and boil for 1-2 minutes.

6. Put the cherries on a sieve to drain the syrup. If you like juicy desserts, you can soak the roll with syrup before applying the cream.

7. Whip the chilled cream to soft peaks, gradually adding powdered sugar, add mascarpone and combine.

8. Unwrap the roll by removing the parchment paper.

9. Spread the cream, leaving 2 cm from the edge of the roll. Put the cherry and roll up.

10. Wrap the finished roll in parchment and refrigerate for 2-3 hours (preferably overnight).
