Ingredients:
- 1 box red velvet cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 15 Oreo cookies (crushed)
- ½ cup chocolate syrup
- Whipped cream for topping
- Extra Oreo cookies for garnish
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prepare the Red Velvet Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a jelly roll pan (10×15 inches) with parchment paper.
- Prepare the red velvet cake batter as per the box instructions.
- Pour the batter into the pan and spread evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes until done.
- Roll the Cake:
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and immediately roll it up with the parchment paper while it’s still warm. This helps create the perfect rolled shape.
- Let the rolled cake cool completely.
- Make the Filling:
- In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then fold in the crushed Oreos.
- Assemble the Cake Roll:
- Once the cake has cooled, unroll it carefully. Spread the Oreo cream filling evenly over the cake.
- Roll the cake back up tightly, this time without the parchment paper. Wrap the cake roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Decorate the Cake Roll:
- After chilling, drizzle the cake roll with chocolate syrup.
- Pipe whipped cream on top and garnish with whole Oreo cookies for that signature explosion of flavors!
