Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¾ cup (93g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 4 ounces (113g) cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups (226g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10×15” cake/jelly roll pan with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs at medium speed for 3-5 minutes until foamy.
  3. Add granulated sugar to the eggs and mix for 2 minutes until thickened.
  4. Mix in oil, baking powder, salt, vanilla, cocoa powder, and flour until just combined.
  5. Add red food coloring and mix gently to achieve the desired color.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 10-15 minutes until the top is browned.
  7. While baking, dust a kitchen towel with powdered sugar. Once baked, flip the cake onto the towel and roll it up from the short side to cool.
  8. In a bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until creamy. Gradually mix in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.
  9. Unroll the cooled cake and spread the frosting evenly over it. Roll the cake back up tightly.
  10. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 1 hour before serving. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend. If the cake cracks, use extra frosting to cover it.
