1 tsp baking powder ⏳
1/2 tsp salt 🧂
3 large eggs 🥚
3/4 cup granulated sugar 🍬
1 tsp vanilla extract 🍦

Instructions:
1. Make the Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) 🔥.
Grease and line a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper 🧴.
In a bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt 🌾🍫.
In another large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, milk, and vegetable oil 🥚🍬.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth 💪.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly 🧑🍳.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean 🕒.
Once baked, immediately turn the cake out onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar 🍬.
Carefully remove the parchment paper and gently roll the cake in the towel, rolling from one short end to the other. Let it cool completely ❄️.
2. Make the Filling:
In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form 🥄.
3. Assemble the Cake:
Unroll the cooled cake and spread the whipped cream evenly over the surface 🍦.
Spoon the cherry pie filling evenly over the whipped cream 🍒.
Carefully roll the cake back up, using the towel to help guide it. Be gentle to avoid cracking 🧑🍳.
4. Decorate and Serve:
Once rolled, transfer the cake to a serving platter 🍽️.
