📋 Ingredients:
For the Red Velvet Cake:
- 🍰 1 box red velvet cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
- 🍫 1/4 cup cocoa powder (optional, for extra chocolatey flavor)
- 🍞 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 🧂 1/4 tsp salt
For the Oreo Cream Filling:
- 🧁 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 🧈 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 🍬 1 cup powdered sugar
- 🧂 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 🍫 1 1/2 cups crushed Oreo cookies (about 15 cookies)
For the Chocolate Ganache:
- 🍫 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 🥛 1/2 cup heavy cream
For Decoration:
- 🍫 Additional crushed Oreos
- 🍭 Optional: red and white sprinkles or mini chocolate chips
📝 Directions:
- Preheat Oven: 🔥 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper. Grease the parchment paper as well.
- Prepare the Red Velvet Cake: 🍰 In a large mixing bowl, prepare the red velvet cake mix according to the package instructions. If you want a richer chocolate flavor, add the cocoa powder to the mix. Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake the Cake: 🍰 Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Roll the Cake: 🍰 Once the cake is done, immediately sprinkle the top with a thin layer of flour or powdered sugar. Place a clean kitchen towel over the cake and carefully flip it over onto the towel. Gently peel off the parchment paper. Starting from one short end, roll the cake up with the towel inside and let it cool completely.
- Make the Oreo Cream Filling: 🧁 In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until creamy. Fold in the crushed Oreos.
- Unroll and Fill the Cake: 🍰 Once the cake is completely cooled, unroll it gently. Spread the Oreo cream filling evenly over the surface of the cake, leaving a small border around the edges. Re-roll the cake tightly (without the towel) and place it seam-side down on a serving plate.
- Prepare the Chocolate Ganache: 🍫 In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let it sit for 1-2 minutes. Stir until smooth and glossy.
- Decorate the Cake: 🍫 Pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the cake roll, letting it drip down the sides. Sprinkle with additional crushed Oreos, sprinkles, or mini chocolate chips as desired.
- Chill and Serve: 🍽️ Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving to allow the flavors to meld and the ganache to set.
