Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup purple food coloring
- 1 cup cream cheese frosting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Beat the eggs and sugar together in a separate bowl until light and fluffy. Then, pour in the vegetable oil and add the vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Fold the dry ingredients and purple food coloring into the egg mixture until you achieve a smooth batter.
- Pour the batter evenly onto your prepared baking sheet, using a spatula to spread it out.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back gently when touched.
- Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before rolling it up with the parchment paper from one end to the other. Let it cool completely in this rolled-up position.
- Unroll the cake, spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting over it, and roll it back up.
- Slice and serve to unleash a wave of colorful delight.
