Black Forest Roll Cake

2️⃣ Make the Cherry Filling

1. Place the cherries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan.The lemon brightens the flavor and balances sweetness.
2. Boil for 5 minutes.The cherries will soften and release their juices.
3. Add the cornstarch-water mixture and cook until thickened.Stir constantly; the filling should become glossy and jam-like.
4. Leave to cool.Cooled filling prevents the cream from melting when assembled.

3️⃣ Prepare the Cream

1. Whip the cream while cold.Cold cream whips more quickly and holds its structure better.
2. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla.Continue whipping until soft, stable peaks form.
3. Refrigerate until thickened.

4️⃣ Fill the Roll

1. Unroll the cooled cake.The sponge should be flexible and ready for filling.
2. Spread the cream on top.Leave a small border to prevent overflow when rolling.
3. Pour and spread the cherry sauce.Spread evenly for a ribbon of cherries in every slice.
4. Roll it up tightly again.Roll with steady pressure to form a neat spiral.
5. Let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.This helps the roll firm up before adding the ganache.
