Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 tbsp red food coloring (gel)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 8 oz cream cheese (for frosting)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a jelly roll pan (15×10 inches) with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, mix sugar and vegetable oil until combined. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add buttermilk and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
- Stir in red food coloring until fully incorporated. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients; mix until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly, then flip onto a powdered sugar-dusted kitchen towel and roll tightly while warm.
- Once cooled completely, unroll gently and spread cream cheese frosting over the surface before rolling back up.
- Chill the cake roll for about an hour before slicing.
