• Re-roll the cake as tightly as you can. For best results, wrap the cake roll and refrigerate/freeze the cake for 1-2 hours to help the filling set. Alternately freeze the cake overnight.
Advertisement:• Unwrap the chilled cake. Dust the top with powdered sugar, optional. Use a serrated knife to cut 12 even pieces. Rinse and dry knife between cuts for clean slices.
NOTES
• NO PARCHMENT/TOWEL METHOD: If not using parchment paper, heavily grease and flour the pan before adding the batter. Then turn the hot baked cake out onto a tea towel that’s been sprinkled with about 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. Roll the cake up in towel while warm, and follow the steps as written.
• TO FREEZE: Double wrap the red velvet cake roll with plastic wrap and freeze it up to 2-3 months. Unwrap the cake and slice from frozen. Allow the cake to thaw at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving. Alternately thaw cake in fridge overnight before slicing and serving.
