- 90 ml Canola oil
- 45 ml Water
- 1 1/2 tbsp Walnut oil
- 75 g Icing sugar
- 3/4 tsp Baking powder
- 3/4 tsp Baking soda
- 3/4 tsp Salt
- 3 pcs Eggs, separated

Method
- For the roll's batter, sift together flour and sugar and the other dry ingredients into a bowl.
- In another large bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients until blended.
- Add dry mixture slowly, whisking all the while.
- You need to get an almost dough-like batter.
- Let it rest in a warm place, covered, while you prepare the mousse.
- For the mousse, process the walnuts and walnut oil in a food processor, add the stewed cherries, process it, until the mixture forms a paste (scrape sides if necessary).
- Add melted chocolate and process until blended.
- Set aside.
- Separate the eggs (you need to keep the eggs in the fridge until you need them).
- Whisk egg yolks lightly by hand in a heavy-duty mixer bowl.
- Bring 4cm of water to a boil in a saucepan to be used as a double boiler with the mixer bowl, reduce heat, and keep to a simmer while you proceed.
- In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water and bring to a boil.
- Remove pan from heat, and very slowly add the boiling syrup to the egg yolks, whisking mixture constantly.
- Fit the bowl to the saucepan of simmering water and continue to whisk mixture until it is foamy and hot to the touch.
- Remove bowl from heat and fit it into the mixer.
- With the whisk attachment, beat mixture on high until it is pale, holds a soft ribbon, and is cool to the touch. With a rubber spatula, fold in walnut paste. Whip the heavy cream until it holds soft peaks.
- Fold lightly but thoroughly into walnut mixture.
- Beat the egg whites until hard foam, then carefully fold it to the mixture.
- Chill it in the fridge until needed.
- To finish the cake, cover a working surface with flour, then roll the dough into 0.5cm thick on it, rectangular shape.
- Lightly sprinkle top of dough with confectioner's sugar then spread the chilled mousse over the cake, leaving 2cm of the cake bare along the side closest to you.
- Roll the cake up into an even roll.
- Be carefull not to push the mousse out from it, it doesn't matter if the roll is a bit loose.
- Butter a baking form, any kind you wish, but use a heat-safe form.
- Slice the roll into 2.5cm wide slices and place them into the shape, pushing them close to each other, leaving no space between them.
- Bake the cake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan.
- Transfer the form to a rack and allow to cool to room temperature.
