Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the paper.
- Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together in a bowl until they become pale and slightly thickened.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, then add the milk and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined.
- In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold them into the batter, taking care not to deflate the air you’ve just incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the sponge springs back when lightly touched.
- Remove the sponge from the oven and immediately turn it out onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off the parchment paper.
- Carefully roll the sponge up in the towel while it is still warm, and let it cool completely.
The Black Forest Filling: Cherries & Whipped Cream
What makes the Black Forest flavor so irresistible is the combination of dark, sweet cherries and fluffy whipped cream. To get that perfect cherry-infused filling, you can use either fresh cherries or jarred Morello cherries (for a more intense, tangy flavor). You’ll also need a generous helping of whipped cream, and for added depth, a splash of kirsch (cherry liqueur) if you want to keep the Black Forest theme true to its origins.
Ingredients for the Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cherry preserves or fresh cherries, chopped
- 1 tbsp kirsch (optional)
- 1/2 cup chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (for garnish)
