How To Make Pink Velvet Swiss Roll

For the Pink Velvet Sponge Cake:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10×15-inch (25×38 cm) jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper. Grease the parchment paper as well.

In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

Add the vanilla extract, buttermilk, and vegetable oil to the egg-sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until you have a smooth batter.

Carefully add pink food coloring to the batter until you achieve the desired shade of pink. Start with a small amount and add more if needed.

Pour the pink velvet cake batter into the prepared jelly roll pan, spreading it evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the cake is set and springs back when lightly touched.

While the cake is still warm, dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar. Invert the cake onto the towel and carefully remove the parchment paper.

Roll the cake, along with the towel, starting from the shorter end. Allow it to cool completely while rolled.

For the Cream Cheese Filling:

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, softened unsalted butter, and powdered sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.

Assembly:

Carefully unroll the cooled pink velvet cake from the towel.

Spread the prepared cream cheese filling evenly over the cake, leaving a small border around the edges.

Gently re-roll the cake, this time without the towel, starting from the same shorter end.
Place the seam side down.

Wrap the Swiss roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to set.

Garnish:

Before serving, dust the Pink Velvet Swiss Roll with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.

Optionally, decorate the top with fresh berries or edible flowers for added visual appeal.

Slice and serve this delightful Pink Velvet Swiss Roll, impressing your guests with its beautiful appearance and delicious flavor.
