To decorate:
- Preheat the oven to 190˚C/170˚C fan/gas mark 5. Grease and line a Swiss roll tin with parchment paper.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder into a small bowl and set aside.
- Beat the eggs, caster sugar and food colouring with an electric whisk for about 10 minutes, until the mixture has more than doubled in volume.
- Gradually fold in the flour mixture until incorporated. Stir in the butter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 12-15 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- As soon as the cake is out of the oven, sprinkle with icing sugar and invert it onto a clean tea towel.
- Peel off the parchment paper, sprinkle with more icing sugar, then roll up the cake with the towel. Place on a wire rack to cool.
- Beat the cream cheese for the filling for three minutes until fluffy, then slowly beat in the icing sugar until combined. Beat in the vanilla and cream until it reaches a thick but spreadable consistency. Stir in the sprinkles.
- Gently unroll the cake and spread the buttercream in an even layer.
- Roll the cake up again and set aside.
- Melt the white chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water until smooth, then drizzle over the top. Decorate as desired with more sprinkles. Leave to set before slicing.
