Ingredients
→ Cake Base
1 box chocolate cake mix
3 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Powdered sugar, for dusting
→ Cream Filling
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 6–8 cookies)
→ Decoration
1/4 cup white chocolate, melted
4–6 whole Oreo cookies
Extra crushed Oreo cookies, for garnish
Steps
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine chocolate cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, water, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and homogenous.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 12–15 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While cake is baking, dust a clean kitchen towel generously with powdered sugar.
Immediately invert the warm cake onto the prepared towel. Carefully remove parchment paper, then roll the cake tightly within the towel. Allow to cool completely.
In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese and unsalted butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Fold in crushed Oreo cookies.
Gently unroll the cooled cake. Evenly spread the Oreo cream filling over the entire surface.
Roll the cake back up tightly, keeping the filling intact. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
Drizzle the roll with melted white chocolate. Arrange whole Oreo cookies on top and sprinkle with extra crushed Oreos. Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
Use a generous dusting of powdered sugar on the towel to prevent sticking during rolling.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the rolled position to avoid cracking.
