# Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder into the egg mixture, and fold gently until combined.

Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

While the cake is baking, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

Once the cake is done, turn it out onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off the parchment paper. While the cake is still warm, roll it up with the towel inside and let it cool completely.
07 -
Unroll the cooled cake and spread an even layer of whipped cream over the surface. Sprinkle with chopped dark chocolate, cherries, and raspberries.
08 -
Roll the cake up tightly and place it seam-side down on a serving platter. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
09 -
Garnish the cake with chocolate shavings, fresh cherries, and raspberries before slicing and serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure the cake is rolled while warm to prevent cracking.
02 -
Chill the assembled roll to allow the filling to set properly.
