Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon (5g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¾ cup (93g) all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) red food coloring
- Powdered sugar to aid in rolling
- 4 ounces (113g) cream cheese (room temperature)
- ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 2 cups (226g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 10×15” or 10.5×15” cake/jelly roll pan with foil and spray with floured nonstick cooking spray.
- Place eggs in a large bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat at medium speed with mixer for 3-5 minutes until foamy and yellow. Add sugar and mix for 2 more minutes, until the mixture is thickened slightly.
- Mix in oil, baking powder, salt, vanilla, and cocoa, then add flour and mix slowly until just combined.
- Pour into prepared pan, spreading as needed with a spatula. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the top is browned and the cake springs back when touched lightly.
- While the cake is baking, lay out a clean kitchen towel onto the counter. Spread with about 1/4 cup powdered sugar.
- Remove the hot cake from the oven and carefully flip the cake onto the towel. Carefully remove the pan and foil and then, using the towel, roll up the cake from the short side. Let this cool completely before continuing.
- Make the filling: beat cream cheese and butter until creamy, then mix in powdered sugar slowly. Add vanilla and beat until smooth.
- To fill the cake: Carefully unroll the cake. Spread with the frosting. Carefully roll the cake back up as tight as possible.
- Chill for one hour before slicing. Before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar.
- If the cake cracks, double the frosting recipe and frost the outside as well.
Notes
- Wrap the cooled cake in plastic wrap and let it sit overnight for enhanced flavor.
- If cracks occur, additional frosting can conceal imperfections.
