Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp milk if needed

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a jelly roll pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking powder.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, vanilla extract, and vinegar.
  • Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Once baked, let the cake cool for a few minutes before carefully inverting it onto a clean towel dusted with powdered sugar.
  • Roll the cake tightly with the towel from one short end to the other.
  • Allow the rolled cake to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
  • If necessary, add a splash of milk to reach spreading consistency.
  • Unroll the cooled cake carefully and spread the filling evenly over the surface.
  • Roll the cake back up without the towel and refrigerate for at least one hour before slicing.
  • Slice and serve your red velvet cake roll.
