If It Looks Good It Tastes Good

That is an understatement for this red velvet cake roll! It should say, “If it looks good, it tastes undeniably fantastic”.

Seriously, I could literally eat four or five pieces of this cake with no problem. Oh…heck. I’m kidding myself! I could eat the whole thing in one sitting. It is that good!

Yes, it tastes as good as it looks!

Believe it or not, this red velvet cake roll tastes like chocolate with a thickened whipped cream and a slight tang.

That’s because one ingredient in this cake is cocoa which gives it it’s chocolate flavor. And the filling is a combination of just three ingredients which include heavy whipping cream, cream cheese, and granulated sugar.
