Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp red food coloring (gel)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and grease lightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
- In another bowl, mix vegetable oil, sugar, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, and vanilla until smooth.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture; stir gently until just combined.
- Pour batter into prepared pan; bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool slightly, then dust a kitchen towel with powdered sugar. Flip the cake onto the towel and remove parchment paper. Roll tightly from one short end to another.
- For the filling, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Once cooled completely (about an hour), unroll the cake carefully and spread an even layer of filling before rolling it back up without the towel.
- Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour before slicing.
