Instructions:

Cake roll:

1. 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).
2. 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).
3. 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.
4. 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:

1. First, make sure the cream cheese is beaten well. (Make sure it’s at room temperature).
2. Then, add the cool whip  and condensed milk to the cream cheese.
3. 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.
4.  Spread the left over cream to the top of the cake roll and decorate it with some more cherry filing and chopped up hazelnuts.
5. Wala! Enjoy!
