Ingredients

Scale

Cake:

  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp purple food coloring (gel or liquid)
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 tsp baking soda

Cream Cheese Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder.

2️⃣ Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the sugar, eggs, vanilla, oil, buttermilk, food coloring, and vinegar until smooth. Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in the baking soda.

3️⃣ Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

4️⃣ Roll the Cake: While the cake is still warm, dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar. Turn the cake onto the towel, remove the parchment, and carefully roll it up in the towel. Let cool completely.

5️⃣ Make the Cream Cheese Filling: Beat together cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.

6️⃣ Assemble the Cake Roll: Once the cake is cool, unroll it gently. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake, then carefully roll it back up.

7️⃣ Serve and Enjoy: Slice and serve immediately, or refrigerate for a firmer texture.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • If you prefer a less sweet filling, reduce the powdered sugar in the cream cheese mixture to taste.
