Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Easy Red Velvet Cake Roll
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking pan by lining it with foil and spraying with cooking spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs for 3-5 minutes until frothy. Gradually add sugar and mix for another 2 minutes.
  3. Gently add oil, baking powder, salt, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder to the egg mixture. Mix until just combined, then fold in flour.
  4. Spread the batter in the baking pan and bake for 10-15 minutes until set and lightly browned.
  5. Transfer the baked cake to a powdered sugar-dusted towel and roll it up, then cool completely.
  6. Beat cream cheese and butter together, then add powdered sugar and vanilla for the filling.
  7. Unroll the cooled cake, spread the filling evenly, then roll it back up without the towel.
  8. Wrap the rolled cake in plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour before serving.
