- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with greased parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs on high for 5 minutes until thick and pale, then gradually add sugar and vanilla.
- Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, then gently fold into the egg mixture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spread evenly, and tap to remove bubbles.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until it springs back when touched.
- While baking, lay a kitchen towel on a surface and dust with powdered sugar.
- Invert the baked cake onto the towel, peel off parchment, and roll the cake up in the towel while warm. Let it cool.
- Whip the cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form; chill until ready.
- Gently unroll the cooled cake, spread whipped cream, add cherries, and drizzle with liqueur if using.
- Roll the cake back up without the towel, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Before serving, decorate with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, cherries, and mint leaves.
- Slice using a serrated knife for neat spirals.
