Instructions

Cake:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F (177 C). Spray a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan with cooking spray and line bottom with parchment paper. Grease the parchment paper and lightly flour it. Set a side.
  • Generously sprinkle a thin kitchen cotton towel with powdered sugar.
  • In a bowl sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder. Set a side.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, with the whisk attachment best eggs and sugar for 2 minutes, until fluffy. Add milk and oil. Add vanilla. Beat to combine.
  • Add in the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Add vinegar.
  • Add the red food coloring and mix until incorporated.
  • Transfer batter to the prepared pan and bake for 15-17 minutes, until cake springs back when touched. (I baked it for 17 minutes)
  • Immediately loosen cake and turn onto prepared towel. Peel off parchment paper. Starting with the narrow end, roll up cake and towel together. Let it cool completely.

Cream Cheese Filling:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer with paddle attachment beat together cream cheese and butter, until well combined for about 4-5 minutes. Add powdered sugar and beat until incorporated. Add vanilla and mix until evenly distributed.

To Assemble:

  • Once cake roll has completely cooled, carefully unroll. You might have some of to stuck to the towel and tiny cracks, but this is ok.
  • Spread cream cheese over the surface of the roll.
  • Roll cake up again and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, before serving.
  • Dust the top with powdered sugar. Slice and enjoy!
