Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs (room temperature)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tbsp gel red food coloring
1 tsp vanilla extract
8 oz full-fat cream cheese (softened)
2 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
1 cup powdered sugar (sifted)
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar until fluffy. Mix in oil, red food coloring, and vanilla. Gradually add dry ingredients until combined.
Pour batter into the pan and spread evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Turn the cake onto a powdered sugar-dusted kitchen towel and carefully roll it up from one end. Allow to cool completely.
For the filling, beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Unroll the cooled cake gently and spread the filling evenly over it. Roll back up without squeezing too hard.
Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature.
