Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the long sides for easy removal.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with the granulated sugar until pale and thick. Add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and red food coloring, and mix until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg yolk mixture and mix until just combined.
4. In another clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the cake batter until no streaks remain.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. While the cake is baking, prepare the cream cheese filling. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined and fluffy.
8. Remove the cake from the oven and immediately run a knife around the edges to loosen it from the pan. Carefully lift the cake out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and transfer it to a clean kitchen towel.
9. While the cake is still warm, carefully roll it up in the kitchen towel, starting from one of the short ends. Let it cool completely rolled up in the towel.
10. Once the cake has cooled completely, carefully unroll it from the towel. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface of the cake, leaving a small border around the edges.
11. Carefully roll the cake back up, this time without the towel, starting from the same short end as before. Wrap the rolled cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
12. Once chilled, unwrap the cake roll and transfer it to a serving platter. Slice and serve, garnished with powdered sugar or cocoa powder if desired.
