- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp (15g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp (3g) baking soda
- 1/4 tsp (1g) salt
- 1 large (50g) egg
- 1/2 cup (120ml) buttermilk
- 2 tbsp (30ml) vegetable oil
- 1 tsp (5ml) white vinegar
- 1 tbsp (15ml) red food coloring
- 8 oz (225g) low-fat cream cheese
- 1/4 cup (60g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1 tbsp (15g) lemon juice
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, extending it over the edges.
- Whisk together cake flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Beat in the egg, buttermilk, vegetable oil, white vinegar, and red food coloring until the batter is smooth and deep crimson.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan using an offset spatula.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the top springs back when touched.
- Immediately turn the hot cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar, peel off the parchment, and roll the cake tightly with the towel.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in its rolled position.
- Beat softened low-fat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip chilled heavy whipping cream and lemon juice to stiff peaks, then gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Unroll the cooled cake, spread the filling evenly while leaving a small border, and roll it back up tightly.
- Chill the roll for 2 hours before slicing and serving.
