This can help improve the cake&#8217;s texture, as overbeating can cause gluten to develop and result in a gummier consistency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store a Red Velvet Cake Roll<\/h2>\n<p>Store the red velvet cake roll in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to seven days. We don&#8217;t recommend storing the cake roll at room temperature because the filling contains cream cheese.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze a red velvet cake roll?<\/h3>\n<p>Freeze the cake roll tightly wrapped for two to three months.

It also has tangy undertones thanks to ingredients like buttermilk and white vinegar.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you use gel or liquid food coloring for red velvet cake?<\/h3>\n<p>We recommend using gel instead of liquid food coloring as it achieves a deeper, more vibrant color with less product.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I use apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar for red velvet?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Other types of vinegar, like apple cider vinegar, will achieve similar results in this red velvet cake recipe. Aside from the tangy flavor, vinegar helps activate the baking powder in the batter to leaven the cake for even fluffier results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Light and airy

In fact, do not beat the flour at all! My roll became rubbery because of it.    It's my very first attempt at any Swiss roll so I'm totally devastated.   I tried again by folding in the flour, it's so much better, still chilling in the fridge so I'm not sure if it'll be fluffy, I'm guessing it's at least spongy though not fluffy considering the feel of it when I roll it up.  I've tasted the rubbery one, it taste good. I used my own cheese frosting recipe so I have no comment on that.  Please please do edit your recipe.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":1,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}}]},"video":{"data":{"status":204},"message":"No shortcode found in recipe"},"rms_legacy_id":"97901","romance_copy_dek":"Light and airy red velvet cake gets rolled into a jelly roll shape held together by a thick layer of homemade white chocolate cream cheese frosting for a delightful rendition of a classic favorite.","enhanced_recipe_title":"Red Velvet Cake Roll","rms_legacy_data":{"RecipeCategories":null,"Ingredients":[{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"4 large eggs","IngredientText":"4 large eggs"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"3\/4 cup sugar","IngredientText":"3\/4 cup sugar"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"2 tablespoons buttermilk","IngredientText":"2 tablespoons buttermilk"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 tablespoon canola oil","IngredientText":"1 tablespoon canola oil"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 tablespoon red food coloring","IngredientText":"1 tablespoon red food coloring"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 teaspoon white vinegar","IngredientText":"1 teaspoon white vinegar"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 teaspoon vanilla extract","IngredientText":"1 teaspoon vanilla extract"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 cup all-purpose flour","IngredientText":"1 cup all-purpose flour"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1\/4 cup baking cocoa","IngredientText":"1\/4 cup baking cocoa"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 teaspoon baking powder","IngredientText":"1 teaspoon baking powder"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1\/2 teaspoon salt","IngredientText":"1\/2 teaspoon salt"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"<b class='sIngredient'>FILLING:<\/b>","IngredientText":"<b class='sIngredient'>FILLING:<\/b>"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened","IngredientText":"1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1\/4 cup butter, softened","IngredientText":"1\/4 cup butter, softened"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 teaspoon vanilla extract","IngredientText":"1 teaspoon vanilla extract"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 cup confectioners' sugar","IngredientText":"1 cup confectioners' sugar"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"5 ounces white baking chocolate, melted","IngredientText":"5 ounces white baking chocolate, melted"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"Additional confectioners' sugar, optional","IngredientText":"Additional confectioners' sugar, optional"}],"FeaturedImage":"https:\/\/tmbidigitalassetsazure.blob.core.windows.net\/rms3-prod\/attachments\/37\/1200x1200\/Red-Velvet-Cake-Roll_EXPS_TOHD24_97901_DianaChistruga_9.jpg","RecipeId":97901,"AttachmentSourceId":null,"AttachmentSource":"Diana Chistruga for Taste Recipes","PhotoCredit":"Red Velvet Cake Roll Recipe photo by Diana Chistruga for Taste Recipes","VideoCode":null,"RecipeAttachmentFileName":"Red-Velvet-Cake-Roll_EXPS_TOHD24_97901_DianaChistruga_9.jpg","ContributorId":null,"Firstname":"Tonya","Lastname":"Forsyth","City":"Waurika","StateDescription":"Oklahoma","IsCommunityCook":false,"TimeCallout":"Prep: 25 min. + chilling Bake: 15 min. + cooling","MinimumServingQuantity":16,"MaximumServingQuantity":16,"Yield":"16 servings.","DigitalTitle":"Red Velvet Cake Roll","SubmittedTitle":"Red Velvet Cake Roll","RecipeTypeId":1,"AverageRating":2.33,"WebPublishedDate":"1\/1\/2018 12:00:00 AM","ContestPlacementId":null,"FbImage":"FB_TOHD24_97901_DianaChistruga_10.jpg","PreparationTimeInMinutes":25,"CookTimeInMinutes":15,"TotalTimeInMinutes":40,"ServingDescription":null,"IsTestKitchenCertified":true,"IsContestWinner":false,"IsCommunityRecipe":false,"PublishedProjectTitle":"Red Velvet Cake Roll with White Chocolate Filling","OriginalSourceProject":"Red Velvet Cake Roll with White Chocolate Filling","ContestPlacement":"","Trailer":null,"Metadescription":null,"DigitalHeadnotes":"Get ready for oohs and aahs when you set this on the table.
