by

The Purple Velvet Cake Roll is a stunning dessert that’s both visually impressive and delicious. The rich purple color, combined with the soft, light texture of the cake, creates a beautiful contrast against the creamy, smooth cream cheese frosting that fills the roll. It’s a showstopper that’s perfect for any special occasion.

  1. Ingredients:
  • For the Cake:
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/2 cup buttermilk
    • 2 tablespoons purple food coloring (gel or liquid)
    • 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
  • For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
    • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 2 cups powdered sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • Pinch of salt

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10-inch baking sheet with parchment paper, and lightly grease the paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the oil, vanilla extract, and buttermilk, and continue to mix.
  4. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Stir in the purple food coloring and white vinegar, mixing until the batter is evenly colored.
  5. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. While the cake is baking, lay a clean kitchen towel on the counter and dust it with powdered sugar. Once the cake is done, carefully remove it from the oven and turn it out onto the prepared towel.
  7. Roll the cake up with the towel, starting from the short end. Allow the cake to cool completely while rolled up.
  8. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, and beat until fluffy and well combined.
  9. Once the cake has cooled, gently unroll it and spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top. Carefully roll the cake back up without the towel.
  10. Slice and serve. Enjoy your beautiful purple velvet cake roll!
