# Ingredients:

→ Chocolate Cake

01 - 150 g chocolate cake mix
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 60 ml vegetable oil
04 - 60 ml water
05 - 5 ml pure vanilla extract

→ Filling

06 - 170 g full-fat cream cheese, softened
07 - 60 g unsalted butter, softened
08 - 100 g powdered sugar
09 - 5 ml pure vanilla extract
10 - 75 g crushed Oreo cookies

→ Decoration

11 - 50 g white chocolate, melted
12 - 6 whole Oreo cookies
13 - Extra crushed Oreo cookies, for sprinkling

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 175°C and line a 25x38 cm jelly roll pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cake release.
02 - In a large bowl, combine chocolate cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, water, and vanilla extract. Beat with a mixer until uniform and smooth, scraping bowl sides.
03 - Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly using an offset spatula. Tap pan gently to level batter. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and cake springs back lightly.
04 - Dust a clean kitchen towel generously with powdered sugar. Invert hot cake onto the towel and gently peel off parchment. Beginning at the short end, roll cake with towel inside to prevent cracking. Allow to cool completely rolled.
05 - Beat softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until fluffy. Fold in crushed Oreos carefully until evenly incorporated.
06 - Unroll the cooled cake and evenly spread the cream cheese Oreo filling over the surface, leaving a narrow border. Slowly reroll the cake snugly without the towel.
07 - Wrap the filled roll tightly in plastic wrap to maintain shape and refrigerate for a minimum of 60 minutes to allow filling to set and facilitate clean slicing.
08 - Drizzle melted white chocolate over chilled roll. Garnish with whole Oreo cookies and extra crushed Oreos for added texture and visual appeal.
09 - Using a sharp knife, cut the chilled roll into slices about 2.5 cm thick, wiping the blade between cuts for neat presentation. Serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - Rolling the cake while warm prevents cracking and keeps it soft and springy.
02 - Dusting the towel with powdered sugar avoids sticking during the rolling process.
03 - Chilling the roll firms the filling and ensures clean slices.
04 - Use high-quality vanilla extract and chocolates for optimal flavor.
05 - This dessert can be prepared a day in advance for stress-free entertaining.
