FAQ:
Can I make this cake ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the cake a day before serving. Simply store the rolled cake in the refrigerator and slice just before serving.
How do I prevent the cake from cracking while rolling?
Ensure the cake is fully cooled before rolling it up, and always roll it gently. The use of a kitchen towel will also help keep the shape intact without over-tightening.
Can I use frozen cherries instead of fresh?
Yes, frozen cherries will work just fine! Just make sure to thaw and drain them before using them in the filling.
Can I make the chocolate sponge cake without cocoa powder?
While cocoa powder is essential for the flavor and color, you could try substituting it with melted dark chocolate for a different take on the flavor profile.
