This is basically a chocolate sponge cake situation crossed with an icebox cake, and it&#8217;s perfect for <strong>special occasions<\/strong> or just a random Tuesday when you need something ah-mazing in your freezer. Start by whisking your <strong>dry ingredients<\/strong> \u2014 flour, <strong>cocoa powder<\/strong>, a little salt \u2014 in a <strong>medium bowl<\/strong> and set aside. In the <strong>bowl of your stand mixer<\/strong> fitted with the <strong>whisk attachment<\/strong>, beat your <strong>egg yolks<\/strong> with sugar and <strong>vanilla extract<\/strong> until you get a thick, pale <strong>white mixture<\/strong>. That&#8217;s your base for the whole <strong>cake batter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, in a separate <strong>large bowl<\/strong>, use your <strong>electric mixer<\/strong> on <strong>high speed<\/strong> to whip your <strong>egg whites<\/strong> to <strong>stiff peaks<\/strong> (not just <strong>soft peaks<\/strong> \u2014 you really want them holding their shape). Gently fold the whites into the <strong>egg mixture<\/strong>, then fold in the flour mixture until you&#8217;ve got a smooth, airy <strong>cake mixture<\/strong> that&#8217;s basically a <strong>genoise sponge<\/strong> in disguise. This light, delicate <strong>chocolate sponge cake<\/strong> is what makes this whole <strong>black forest ice cream cake roll<\/strong> so dreamy \u2014 it&#8217;s sturdy enough to roll but still wonderfully tender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-few-things-to-note-about-this-recipe\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-accent-pink-color\">A FEW THINGS TO NOTE ABOUT THIS <em>Black Forest Ice Cream Cake Roll<\/em>:<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In my experience, a &#8220;messed up&#8221; cake roll is never&nbsp;<em>really<\/em> messed up beyond repair. If your cake cracks while unrolling, just keep going! Spread the filling over it, and roll it back up as best as you can. Get it wrapped tightly in plastic and chill (or freeze, as the case may be ????). You can always cover up cracks with frosting, whipped cream, or ganache on top!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In retrospect, I think I would have opted for a chocolate chip ice cream instead of just plain vanilla. FYI.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I wrapped my cake roll in plastic wrap and then in a few layers of foil as well. This cake roll was near-to-bursting at the seams when I rolled it back up! With it wrapped in foil, I was better able to round out the shape of it a bit before putting it in the freezer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/black-forest-cake-recipe\/?tp_image_id=16522\" data-pin-title=\"Black Forest Ice Cream Cake Roll Recipe\" data-pin-description=\"An expert's guide on making the best and yummiest Black Forest Ice Cream Cake Roll.

Unlike other <strong>sheet pans<\/strong> you might reach for, jelly roll pans have those <strong>short 10.5-inch sides<\/strong> that are key for a proper <strong>roll cake<\/strong>. Bake until just set, then immediately invert it onto a <strong>clean kitchen towel<\/strong> (a <strong>tea towel<\/strong> dusted with <strong>powdered sugar<\/strong> or <strong>icing sugar<\/strong> keeps it from sticking) and roll it up while it&#8217;s still warm. This is the trick that keeps a <strong>black forest ice cream cake roll<\/strong> from cracking later \u2014 rolling it warm trains the sponge into that shape. Let the <strong>cake cool<\/strong> completely, rolled up, before you even think about unrolling it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once it&#8217;s cooled, gently unroll and spread on softened <strong>vanilla ice cream<\/strong> as your <strong>whipped cream filling<\/strong> stand-in, then spoon on your <strong>cherry filling<\/strong> \u2014 homemade <strong>cherry compote<\/strong>, <strong>cherry pie filling<\/strong>, or even sweetened <strong>fresh cherries<\/strong> or <strong>sour cherries<\/strong> simmered in a little <strong>cherry syrup<\/strong> all work beautifully. Roll it back up, wrap tight, and freeze until firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-pin-title=\"Black Forest Ice Cream Cake Roll Recipe\" data-pin-description=\"An expert's guide on making the best and yummiest Black Forest Ice Cream Cake Roll.

In a <strong>small saucepan<\/strong> set over <strong>medium heat<\/strong>, warm your <strong>heavy cream<\/strong> just until it steams, then pour it over <strong>dark chocolate<\/strong> or <strong>chocolate chips<\/strong> in a <strong>small bowl<\/strong>. Let it sit a minute, then whisk into a silky <strong>chocolate mixture<\/strong>. Pour the <strong>melted chocolate<\/strong> ganache generously over the <strong>top of the cake<\/strong>, letting it drip down the sides. Save any <strong>remaining cream<\/strong> mixture to drizzle later, or transfer it to a <strong>piping bag<\/strong> for prettier swirls right down the <strong>center of the cake<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finish with <strong>chocolate shavings<\/strong> made with a <strong>vegetable peeler<\/strong> and a handful of <strong>maraschino cherries<\/strong> or <strong>black cherries<\/strong> on top. Transfer to a <strong>serving platter<\/strong> or <strong>serving plate<\/strong>, slice, and serve \u2014 this beauty is basically a <strong>black forest ice cream cake<\/strong> and a <strong>black forest swiss roll<\/strong> had the most delicious baby imaginable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tips-swaps-and-storage\">Tips, Swaps, And Storage For Next Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re short on time, you can absolutely doctor up a box mix instead of baking from scratch \u2014 check out my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/the-best-doctored-up-cake-mix-cake\/\">doctored chocolate cake mix recipe<\/a> for tips on making <strong>cake mixes<\/strong> taste homemade. Just make sure your eggs are at <strong>room temperature<\/strong> before you start; it makes a huge difference in volume when you whip them up with a <strong>mixing bowl<\/strong> and an <strke>electric mixer<\/strke>. And if plain flour is all you&#8217;ve got, regular <strong>purpose flour<\/strong> (all-purpose, that is!) is exactly what this recipe calls for anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feeling fancy? A splash of <strong>cherry liqueur<\/strong> stirred into the filling gives it that grown-up, <strong>classic german dessert<\/strong> flavor without needing any fake <strong>natural flavor<\/strong> add-ins \u2014 just real, sweet or <strong>sweet cherries<\/strong> shining through. This cake also makes a gorgeous <strong>black forest icebox cake<\/strong> alternative for <strong>warm weather<\/strong> gatherings when you want something cold and creamy instead of a traditional <strong>butter cake<\/strong>. Next time I make this, I&#8217;m swirling in a <strong>cream cheese filling<\/strong> alongside the cherries for even more tang. However you dress it up, keep it stored in the freezer, tightly wrapped, until you&#8217;re ready to slice and devour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-cherry-dessert-recipes\">More Cherry Dessert Recipes!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/cherry-cheesecake-fluff-salad\/\">Cherry Cheesecake Fluff Salad<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1160\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/black-forest-cake-recipe\/?tp_image_id=16525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/DSC_3884-768x1160.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/DSC_3884-768x1160.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/DSC_3884-768x1160-600x906.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/DSC_3884-768x1160-500x755.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/DSC_3884-768x1160-620x936.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/chocolate-cherry-cola-cake\/\">Chocolate Cherry Cola Cake<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"896\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/black-forest-cake-recipe\/?tp_image_id=16527\" src=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/DSC_1619-edited-titled.png\" alt=\"Chocolate Cherry Cola Cake\" class=\"wp-image-16527\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/DSC_1619-edited-titled.png 600w, https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/DSC_1619-edited-titled-500x747.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/chocolate-covered-cherry-fudge\/\">Chocolate Covered Cherry Fudge<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"565\" height=\"843\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/black-forest-cake-recipe\/?tp_image_id=16528\" src=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/DSC_0030-edited.jpg\" alt=\"Chocolate Covered Cherry Fudge\" class=\"wp-image-16528\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/DSC_0030-edited.jpg 565w, https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/DSC_0030-edited-500x746.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 565px) 100vw, 565px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/chocolate-cherry-thumbprint-cookies\/\">Chocolate Cherry Thumbprint Cookies<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/black-forest-torte\/\">Black Forest Torte<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/milk-cookies-ice-cream-cake\/\">Milk &#038; Cookies Ice Cream Cake<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/black-velvet-cake-recipe-is-naturally-moist-from-scratch\/\">Black Velvet Cake Recipe<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/cheesecake-dip\/\">CHEESECAKE DIP<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.somethingswanky.com\/golden-pound-cake-with-strawberry-ice\/\">GOLDEN POUND CAKE WITH STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Nutritional info and daily values will vary depending on your exact ingredients, so always double check if you&#8217;re tracking closely \u2014 but honestly, some desserts are worth every bite regardless of the numbers.
