red velvet

This is probably the most beautiful Valentine's cake, but today we are going to prepare it in a different way. We are going to prepare a rolled sponge cake that we will fill with a soft cream cheese.

It is a very simple recipe that will be just as delicious if we do not add the dye, although it will not be as pretty.

Ingredients

• 120g of flour
• 15g cocoa powder
• One teaspoon of baking powder
• A pinch of salt
• 100g sugar
• 50g brown sugar
• four eggs
• 30ml olive oil
• 30 ml of skimmed yogurt
• Half a teaspoon of red food coloring
• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

For the filling:

• 200 ml of liquid cream
• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• 3 tablespoons cream cheese
• Half a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
2. In a bowl mix all the dry ingredients except the sugar. Reserve.
3. In a large bowl mix eggs and sugar and beat on high speed until mixture is foamy and pale in color.
4. In a bowl, put the eggs with the two sugars and whip with a food processor or electric rods until they are fluffy and white.
5. Then add the oil, yogurt, red food coloring and vanilla and mix well.
6. Then gradually add the mixture of flour and cocoa.
7. On iron of large Bra Efficient we put a baking paper and grease. Turn the dough carefully, smoothing well.
8. Bake about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare a damp cloth on the countertop and sprinkle with cocoa powder.
9. When the cake is ready, very carefully dump the cake onto the damp cloth. Remove the paper from the cake and roll it up on the damp cloth. Cool completely.
10. In a large bowl, whip the cream with the sugar and vanilla. Reserve.
11. In another bowl, with the help of an electric mixer, beat the cheese until it loses any possible lumps and we have a smooth cream.
12. Add the whipped cream and beat with the rods until you get a smooth and uniform mixture.
13. Unroll the cake carefully and spread over our filling. Roll up carefully not to squeeze too much and cover with plastic wrap.
14. Let stand in the fridge for a few hours and serve sprinkled with pure cocoa powder. Happy Valentines!
