Oven set to 350°F
Ingredients:
Biskvit (Sponge Cake)
- 8 large eggs at room temperature
- 8 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 8 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:
Cake roll:
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 11-inch by 18-inch pan with parchment paper.(Do not grease the sides, you don’t want them to deflate).
- On high speed mix together room temperature eggs and sugar for about 15 minutes. (You know it’s ready when it has a light, white, fluffy, texture).
- Using a spatula fold in the all-purpose flour and vanilla extract in the prepared egg and sugar mixture.(Flour needs to be sifted). Have it bake about 15-20 minutes.
- Right out of the oven, put a towel over the cake layer for about five minutes, then roll up the cake layer and set it to the side to cool.
Cream:
- First, make sure the cream cheese is beaten well. (Make sure it’s at room temperature).
- Then, add the cool whip and condensed milk to the cream cheese.
- Spread the cream on the cake layer and add the cherry filling in a line. Throw in some hazelnuts and roll the cake layer back up.
- Spread the left over cream to the top of the cake roll and decorate it with some more cherry filing and chopped up hazelnuts.
- Wala! Enjoy!
