Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a jelly roll pan (15×10 inches) or line with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in vegetable oil, buttermilk, red food coloring, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually fold in dry ingredients until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Once baked, flip the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with confectioners’ sugar. Roll up the cake with the towel while warm and let cool completely.
Unroll the cooled cake gently and spread the cream cheese filling evenly. Roll it back up without the towel. Dust with additional confectioners’ sugar before serving.
