👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Cake Batter

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
Stir in cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and red food coloring, mixing until smooth.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk and vegetable oil. Mix until just combined.

2️⃣ Bake the Cake

Pour the cake batter into the prepared jelly roll pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare a clean kitchen towel by dusting it with powdered sugar.
Once the cake is done, immediately flip it out onto the prepared towel and carefully remove the parchment paper.
Roll the cake up in the towel while it’s still hot, starting from one short end. Allow the cake to cool completely, about 30 minutes.

3️⃣ Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling

While the cake is cooling, in a medium bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
Add vanilla extract and powdered sugar, mixing until light and fluffy. Set aside.

4️⃣ Roll & Assemble the Cake

Once the cake has completely cooled, unroll it gently and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface.
Carefully roll the cake back up, making sure to roll it tightly without cracking.
Place the cake seam-side down on a serving platter.

5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy

Dust with a little powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
Slice and serve! This cake roll is perfect for special occasions or simply to treat yourself to a decadent dessert.

🍽 Tips & Variations

✔ For a Tighter Roll: Be sure to roll the cake while it’s still warm (but not too hot) to prevent cracking.
