Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 8 oz Cream cheese (for filling)
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup Buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup Cocoa powder
  • 1 oz Red food coloring
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1 tsp Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup Butter
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Whip eggs and sugar until thick and pale; mix in oil, vanilla, buttermilk, vinegar, and red coloring.
  2. Sift in flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; fold gently to keep the batter airy.
  3. Spread onto a parchment-lined sheet pan and bake for 10–12 minutes.
  4. Roll the warm cake in parchment to form its shape; cool completely.
  5. Beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
  6. Unroll cake, spread with cream cheese filling, then re-roll tightly.
  7. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with cranberries or whipped cream swirls.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake is rolled while warm to prevent cracking.
  • Use a serrated knife to trim the edges for a neat finish.
  • Garnish can be adjusted based on personal preference.
