Ingredients
Scale
- 4 eggs, large (room temperature)
- ¾ cup (150 g) sugar, granulated
- ¾ cup (95 g) flour, all-purpose
- ¼ cup (30 g) cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup (240 ml) cream, heavy whipping (chilled)
- ⅓ cup (40 g) sugar, powdered
- 10 cookies, chocolate sandwich (like Oreos), crushed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- sugar, powdered (for dusting)
- cookies, crushed or chocolate drizzle (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Batter: Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl. Whip eggs and sugar using an electric mixer until pale and voluminous.
- Mix and Spread: Blend vanilla and milk into the egg mixture. Fold dry ingredients gently. Pour batter into a parchment-lined jelly roll pan, spreading evenly.
- Bake and Initial Shaping: Bake in a preheated oven until the cake springs back when touched. Immediately transfer to a powdered sugar-dusted kitchen towel and carefully roll, trapping the towel inside. Cool completely.
- Create Filling: Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks, incorporating powdered sugar and vanilla. Crush cookies and fold into the cream mixture.
- Assemble Cake Roll: Gently unroll the cooled cake, spread the cookie-cream filling evenly, leaving a small border. Tightly re-roll the cake into a spiral.
- Finish and Serve: Position the cake seam-side down on a serving platter. Refrigerate to set. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate. Garnish with additional cookie crumbles before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Prevent Cake Cracking: Roll the warm cake immediately after baking while flexible, using a sugar-dusted towel to minimize potential splitting and ensure smooth rolling.
- Control Cream Consistency: Whip heavy cream to firm peaks without overbeating, which can cause butter-like separation and compromise the filling’s smooth texture.
- Manage Moisture Balance: Cool cake completely before filling to prevent cream from becoming runny and maintain structural integrity of the roll.
- Customize Dietary Options: Substitute gluten-free flour blend and dairy-free cream alternatives for those with dietary restrictions, ensuring texture remains similar to original recipe.
