Purple Velvet Cake Roll (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Cake

01 - 4 large eggs
02 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
03 - 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
04 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
05 - 1/4 cup vegetable oil
06 - 1/2 cup buttermilk
07 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
08 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
09 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
10 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
11 - Purple food coloring as desired

→ Cream Cheese Filling

12 - 1 cup cream cheese, softened
13 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar
14 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Optional Topping

15 - 1 cup heavy whipping cream

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth and well combined. Add the buttermilk and vanilla extract to the mixture and stir to combine.
03 - In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
04 - Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Add purple food coloring to achieve your desired shade of purple.
05 - Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
06 - While the cake is baking, in a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
07 - Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Place a clean kitchen towel on a flat surface and dust it with powdered sugar. Carefully invert the cake onto the towel and remove the parchment paper. Starting from one end, roll the cake up tightly in the towel and let it cool completely.
08 - Once the cake has cooled, unroll it and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface. Gently roll the cake back up without the towel, making sure the filling stays inside.
09 - If desired, whip the heavy cream and use it to top the rolled cake before serving.
10 - Slice and enjoy your elegant Purple Velvet Cake Roll.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure the cake is fully cooled before spreading the cream cheese filling to prevent melting.
