How to Make Irresistible Creamy Pink Velvet Cake Roll

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 15×10-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar until fluffy, then mix in buttermilk and vanilla.
  • Stir in pink food coloring to your desired shade, then gradually fold in dry ingredients until just combined.
  • Pour the batter onto the baking sheet and spread it evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Invert the cake onto a powdered sugar-dusted kitchen towel and carefully roll the cake tight while still warm.
  • In a bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Gradually add heavy cream until fluffy peaks form.
  • Unroll the cooled cake, spread the filling evenly, and re-roll tightly. Refrigerate for about an hour before slicing.

Notes

Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant finish. Optionally, garnish with fresh berries or mint.
