Step-by-Step Instructions for Red Velvet Cake Roll
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 10x15-inch baking pan with foil and nonstick spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the large eggs on medium speed for 3-5 minutes until foamy and light yellow.
  3. Gradually add granulated sugar while mixing for an additional 2 minutes until the mixture thickens.
  4. Mix in oil, baking powder, salt, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder, then gradually add flour.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 10-15 minutes until lightly browned.
  6. Once baked, dust a clean towel with powdered sugar, flip the cake onto it, and roll it up from one end.
  7. In a separate bowl, prepare the filling by mixing cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  8. Unroll the cooled cake and spread the filling evenly, then roll it back up without the towel.
  9. Wrap the rolled cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  10. Before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar and slice to serve.
