40 ml milk

125 g flour

4 g baking powder

12 g cocoa powder

24 g whip it (cream stabilizer)

red velvet crumbs

Instructions

1. Mix the flour, baking powder, and cocoa in a bowl. Sift the dry ingredients twice.

2. Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt. Beat on the highest setting for about 7-10 minutes until fluffy.

3. Mix the milk with the red food coloring in a bowl.

4. Add the sunflower oil and the milk mixture. Mix for a minute. Sift the flour mixture onto the batter in three parts. Do not stir, but fold the flour through the batter (figure-eight motion). This keeps the roll cake’s structure light.

5. Grease the lined baking tray well and add the batter. Spread the red velvet batter neatly and evenly.

6. Place the red velvet cake in a preheated oven at 200℃. Bake for about 7-10 minutes until done.

7. Remove the red velvet cake from the oven and cover it with a damp kitchen towel. Flip the baking tray. Peel off the baking paper. Trim the edges and set them aside.

8. Roll up the cake using a damp kitchen towel or baking paper while it is still warm! This makes rolling easier and prevents it from tearing. Refrigerate the red velvet cake (30 minutes - or longer).

9. Put the trimmed edges of the red velvet cake in a mixer. Mix until crumbly. Set aside.

10. Mix the mascarpone in a deep bowl with the sugar, vanilla sugar, and whip it. Mix for a minute. Gradually add and mix the unwhipped cream until it is firm.

11. Unroll the cooled cake. Spread a layer of cream on it. Roll the cake back up.

12. Cover the roll cake completely with the cream mixture and smooth it out. I used a palette knife.

13. Garnish the bottom part of the roll cake with the red velvet crumbs. Pipe two beautiful cream swirls on top. Garnish with strawberry pieces and red velvet crumbs.
