Ingredients

  • Chocolate cake mix: opt for a good quality mix for a tender base
  • Large eggs: create structure in the cake
  • Vegetable oil: ensures the cake stays moist
  • Water: activates the cake mix and keeps it light
  • Vanilla extract: gives the cake and filling a fragrant boost choose pure vanilla for best flavor
  • Powdered sugar: for dusting and sweetness in the filling buy fine powdered sugar for smooth results
  • Cream cheese: must be softened for that dreamy creamy texture use full fat for richness
  • Unsalted butter: softened adds even more creaminess without extra salt
  • Crushed Oreo cookies: packed into the filling for intense cookies and cream flavor use fresh Oreos for the best crunch
  • White chocolate: melted for a gorgeous finishing drizzle choose a high quality white chocolate for ease of melting

  • Extra crushed Oreos: sprinkle for extra crunch and visual appeal

Instructions

Prepare and Line Pan:
Set your oven to 350F or 175C and line a ten by fifteen inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper This prevents sticking and ensures the cake releases cleanly
Mix the Cake:
In a large bowl mix together the chocolate cake mix eggs oil water and vanilla extract Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to blend until no streaks remain making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl for an even batter
Spread and Bake:
Pour batter into your prepared pan and spread evenly with an offset spatula Tap the pan gently for even distribution Bake for twelve to fifteen minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the cake springs back lightly
Dust and Roll Cake:
While the cake bakes dust a clean kitchen towel generously with powdered sugar to prevent sticking When the cake comes out of the oven immediately invert it onto the towel Peel off parchment very gently while hot Starting at the short end roll the cake up in the towel Take care not to squeeze so the cake does not crack Let it cool rolled up
Make the Filling:
In a mixing bowl beat softened cream cheese and butter with a mixer until smooth Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla beat until fluffy and fully mixed Fold in crushed Oreos using a spatula until well distributed and do not overmix
Fill and Re Roll:
Unroll the completely cooled cake Gently spread the cream cheese Oreo filling evenly across the entire surface reaching all edges Leave a narrow border for tidy rolling Slowly re roll the cake without towel wrapping as snug as possible
Chill the Roll:
Wrap the filled roll carefully with plastic wrap to keep its shape Refrigerate for at least one hour so the filling firms up and cutting will be clean
Decorate and Garnish:
After chilling drizzle melted white chocolate across the top for a bakery finish Add whole Oreo cookies and extra crushed Oreos for eye catching crunch and flavor
