Directions

  • 1.

  • 4.

    Add the buttermilk, vinegar, vanilla, and red food coloring. Mix to combine.

  • 5.

    Add the flour mixture and mix until just incorporated, be careful to not overmix.

  • 6.

    Pour batter into prepared pan. Spread evenly, rap it a few times on the counter to get rid of large air pockets.

  • 7.

    Bake at 350˚F for 12-14 minutes or until the top of the cake springs back when touched, or when pick comes out clean, it important not to over back.

  • 8.

    Lift cake by the parchment paper and place it on a wire rack. Allow cake to rest for 3 minutes for steam to release. Place a slightly damp paper towels over the cake. Fold parchment paper over one of the 10-inch (shorter) sides and roll the cake tightly into a log while it is still warm, towel will be rolled inside, to help keep moist and flexible.

  • 9.

    Leave cake on wire rack to cool completely.

    IMPORTANT: Keep the tip of the spatula in the frosting the whole time as to not lift crumbs into the frosting.

  • 15.

    Re-roll the cake as tightly as you can. For best results, wrap the cake roll and refrigerate/freeze the cake for 1-2 hours to help the filling set. Alternately freeze the cake overnight.

Suggestions (may affect the nutritional values)

  • If not using parchment paper, heavily grease and flour the pan before adding the batter. Then turn the hot baked cake out onto a tea towel that's been sprinkled with about 1⁄2 cup of powdered sugar. Roll the cake up in towel while warm, and follow the steps as written.
  • To freeze, double wrap the red velvet cake roll with plastic wrap. Unwrap the cake and slice from frozen. Allow the cake to thaw at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving. Alternately thaw cake in fridge overnight before slicing and serving.
  • Add ½ c sliced cherries or berries to the frosting.
