Description
A delicious Red Velvet Cake Roll filled with cream cheese frosting.
Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup (90 g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (20 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 4 large eggs
- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp neutral oil (canola or vegetable)
- 2 Tbsp buttermilk (or 2 Tbsp milk mixed with ½ tsp vinegar, rested 5 minutes)
- 1 tsp white distilled vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp red food coloring
- Powdered sugar, optional (for dusting)
- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, cold
- ½ cup (113 g) butter, room temperature
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang.
- Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- Whip eggs on medium speed for about 5 minutes until light. Gradually add sugar and oil.
- Mix in buttermilk, vinegar, vanilla, and food coloring. Add dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
- Spread batter evenly in the pan. Bake 13–15 minutes, until the cake springs back lightly.
- Lift cake out using parchment. After 3 minutes, roll the warm cake (short end to short end) with the parchment and let cool completely.
- Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla; chill until ready.
- Unroll cooled cake, spread filling evenly (leave ½-inch bare at one end), then re-roll tightly.
- Chill 1–2 hours to set. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and slice.
Notes
- Rolling the cake while warm prevents cracking.
- Chilling before slicing gives cleaner cuts.
- Can be frozen (well-wrapped) for up to 2–3 months.
