Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp red food coloring
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cream cheese frosting (for filling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thick. Add vegetable oil, buttermilk, red food coloring, and vanilla; mix well.
  4. Fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients gently to combine.
  5. Pour batter onto the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool slightly before transferring it onto a powdered sugar-dusted kitchen towel. Roll it up tightly while warm and let it cool completely.
  7. Unroll the cake gently, spread cream cheese frosting evenly, then roll back up carefully without tearing.
