How to Make Christmas Red Velvet Cake Roll

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until combined.
In another bowl, beat sugar and eggs until pale and fluffy, then add oil, vanilla, and red food coloring.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently until just combined. Pour into prepared pan.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Invert onto powdered sugar-dusted towel.
Whip cream cheese and heavy cream until soft peaks form, then mix in powdered sugar until smooth.
Spread filling over the cooled cake and roll tightly using the kitchen towel. Chill before serving.

Notes

Optional: Dust with extra powdered sugar before serving for an added touch.
