1/3 cup Granulated sugar, (divided)
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1/2 cup All-purpose flour
1/3 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa
1/2 tsp Baking powder
1/4 tsp Baking soda
1/8 tsp Salt
1/3 cup Water
Powdered sugar
CHERRY-COCONUT FILLING
1 cup Cold whipping cream
3 tbsp Powdered sugar
3 drop Red food color (optional)
1/2 cup MOUNDS Sweetened Coconut (Flakes)
1/3 cup Chopped maraschino cherries (well drained)

Instructions:

1. Heat oven to 375 F. Line 15-1/2x10-1/2x1-inch jelly-roll pan with
foil; generously grease foil.

2. In large bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form; gradually
add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. In
small mixer bowl, on medium speed of electric mixer, beat egg yolks
and vanilla 3 minutes. Gradually add remaining 1/3 cup granulated
sugar; continue beating 2 additional minutes.

3. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt;
add to egg yolk mixture alternately with water, beating on low speed
just until batter is smooth. Gradually fold chocolate mixture into
beaten egg whites until well blended.

4. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or
until top springs back when touched lightly in center. Immediately
loosen cake from edges of pan; invert onto clean towel sprinkled with
powdered sugar. Carefully peel off foil. Immediately roll cake and
towel together starting from narrow end; place on wire rack to cool
completely.

5. Prepare CHERRY-COCONUT FILLING. Carefully unroll cake; remove
towel. Spread cake with filling; reroll cake. Refrigerate several
hours. Sprinkle powdered sugar over top just before serving. Cover;
refrigerate leftover cake roll. 8 to 10 servings.

sugar and food color, if desired, until stiff. Fold in coconut and
