Line a jelly roll pan (approximately 17?x12?x1?) with aluminum foil and grease it well with some vegetable oil or cooking spray.Sift together sifted cake flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt into a small bowl. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs together with an electric mixer on high speed. Once they are frothy, slowly add in the sugar. Beat until light, approximately 5 minutes. Beat in the vegetable oil, buttermilk, and vanilla. Gradually, mix in the cocoa mixture with the electric mixer at a low speed.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 12-15 minutes, until cake springs back when lightly pressed in the center.

Place cake, hot but wrapped in the towel, seam-side down on a wire rack to cool completely. Prepare filling while it cools. Beat all filling ingredients together until light and spreadable.
When cake is cool, gently unwrap it and spread the inside with the filling. Then re-roll.
