Ingredients:

For the Cake:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup buttermilk

1/4 cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon purple food coloring

For the Cream Cheese Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

2 cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.

Make the Cake Batter:

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and purple food coloring.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until smooth and well combined.

Bake the Cake:

Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Prepare the Filling:

While the cake is baking, prepare the cream cheese filling.

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth.

Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until creamy and fluffy.

Roll the Cake:

Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes.

Carefully turn the cake out onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.

Gently peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake (starting from the short side) while it's still warm, using the towel to help you. Let the rolled cake cool completely.

Fill and Roll:

Once the cake has cooled, carefully unroll it and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface.

Gently roll the cake back up without the towel this time.

Chill and Serve:

Chill the cake roll in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Slice and enjoy the gorgeous Purple Velvet Cake Roll!
