Ingredients
 

  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon liquid red food coloring
  • ¼ cup neutral oil
  • cup sugar
  • 3 oz cream cheese at room temperature
  • ¾ cup cold heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • a few drops vanilla extract 

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together the milk, corn oil and liquid red food coloring, then beat with a mixer until well combined.
  • Sift in the cocoa powder and mix well. Adding just a little cocoa powder will give the sponge a deep, intense red color.
  • Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Add the yolks to the batter and mix until fully incorporated.
  • In a clean, dry bowl, combine the egg whites with a little lemon juice. Then add the granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
  • In several additions, gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter, mixing carefully after each addition.
  • Pour the batter into a 11 x 11-inch (28 x 28 cm) baking pan lined with parchment paper, then tap the pan lightly so the batter spreads evenly. Bake at 340°F (170°C) for about 20 minutes, turning on convection for the last 5 minutes.
  • Carefully lift the sponge out of the pan with the parchment paper and let it cool completely.
  • Trim any uneven edges, then toast the trimmings at 300°F (150°C) for about 10 minutes. Let them cool and crumble for decoration.
  • Beat the room-temperature cream cheese with vanilla until smooth.
  • Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar to stiff peaks, then fold in the cream cheese mixture until smooth.
  • Reserve about 1/3 cup (80 g) of cream for decorating. Spread the remaining cream over the sponge, leaving a small border at the edges. Roll up and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • Decorate the chilled roll with the reserved cream, fresh berries or fruit, and the red sponge crumbs.
