How to Make this Red Velvet Cake Roll Recipe

After a reader asked me about their cake being a little on the dry side, I want to point out that when you are baking with eggs and butter, you should set the eggs and butter our about an hour or so before you begin the recipe.

Butter should be nice and soft so that it blends really well and mixes evenly throughout the batter.

Ingredients needed to make this Valentine's Day Sweet Treat:

• 1 box, 15.25 oz, red velvet cake mix
• 6 eggs at room temperature
• ½ cup water
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 3-4 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
• 3 tablespoons Valentine sprinkles (plus more for topping)
• 2 ounces white melting chocolate
