Equipment

  • Whisk
  • serrated knife
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

For the Cake

  • 3 large Eggs Substitute with an egg replacer for a vegan version.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Brown sugar can be a substitute for added moisture.
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil Can be replaced with melted coconut oil.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Almond extract can be used as an alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon White Vinegar Lemon juice can also be a substitute.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Gluten-free flour blends can replace for a gluten-free version.
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Dutch-processed cocoa can be substituted.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Ensure these are fresh for best results.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Red Food Coloring Use natural colorants if preferred.

For the Cream Cheese Filling

  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese Vegan cream cheese can substitute for a dairy-free option.

Instructions
 

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for baking your cake roll.
  • Line a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  • In a bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Mix in the oil, vanilla, vinegar, and red food coloring.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, avoiding overmixing.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  • Let the cake cool for about 5 minutes, then roll it up with the parchment paper to prevent cracking.
  • In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and unsalted butter until smooth. Gradually mix in powdered sugar and vanilla, adding milk for desired consistency.
  • Unroll the cooled cake, spread with cream cheese filling, and roll tightly.
  • Chill the cake roll in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Dust with powdered sugar, slice, and enjoy!

Notes

Serve alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent experience.
