This Black forest cake roll is an amazing touch on the classic German dessert, transforming the beloved flavors of chocolate, cherries and whipped cream into a light and elegant cake roll.
This breathtaking dessert begins with a soft and airy chocolate sponge cake which is gently rolled to create a beautiful spiral. Inside, it is superimposed with soft cream cheese and a garnish of whipped cream and a rich cherry garnish based on cherries with sweet pieces simmered in a thick sauce. Each slice reveals the emblematic contrast of deep cocoa, shiny ruby fruits and cloud -shaped cream.
The roller is garnished with additional whipped cream and whole embittered cherries, adding a touch of classic finish that is suitable for any occasion. Unlike the traditional multilayer black forest cake, the cake roll is lighter, faster to prepare and easier to decide and serve, perfect for special occasions or vacation tables.
