- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 🥄
- 1/4 teaspoon salt 🧂
- 4 large eggs 🥚
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar 🍬
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿
- 2 tablespoons hot water 💦
- 200 g cream cheese (at room temperature) 🧀
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar 🍚
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿
- 1 cup cold cream 🥛
- 8–10 Oreos (coarsely crushed) 🍪
- Crushed Oreo pieces (for topping) 🍪
- Chocolate sauce or ganache (for topping) 🍫
- Cream decorations (for topping) 🍦
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, coffee powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. 🥄
- In another large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and hot water, mixing until combined. 🥚🍬
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, folding gently until no dry streaks remain. The batter should be smooth. 🍫
- Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before flipping it onto a powdered sugar-dusted kitchen towel. Peel off the parchment paper gently.
- In a bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Then, slowly add the cold cream and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cake, then sprinkle the coarsely crushed Oreos on top. 🍪
- Carefully roll the cake from one end using the towel for support, creating a log shape. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
- Once set, remove from the fridge and slice it into pieces. Drizzle chocolate sauce or ganache over the top and garnish with crushed Oreo pieces and cream decorations. 🍦
