Instructions:
- 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 sides.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, and mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake is set and lightly golden brown.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the cinnamon filling by mixing together the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
- Remove the cake from the oven and immediately invert it onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
- Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the warm cake, leaving a small border around the edges. Starting from one short end, gently roll up the cake along with the towel. Place seam side down on a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting by beating together the softened cream cheese, softened butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until creamy and well combined.
- Once the cake has cooled completely, carefully unroll it and spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the surface. Roll the cake back up without the towel, and transfer it to a serving platter.
- Slice and serve your Cinnamon Cake Roll immediately, or refrigerate it for a firmer texture. Enjoy the heavenly flavors and decadent indulgence!
