oreo choc swirl (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Cake

01 - Powdered sugar for dusting
02 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
03 - 1 cup water
04 - 1/2 cup vegetable oil
05 - 3 big eggs
06 - 1 box of chocolate cake mix (good for a 10x15 pan) or make your own chocolate cake from scratch

→ Filling

07 - 1/2 cup Oreo crumbs (about 6–8 cookies)
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
09 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar
10 - 1/4 cup butter, let it sit out to soften
11 - 8 ounces cream cheese, make sure it’s soft

→ Decoration

12 - More Oreo crumbs for scattering on top
13 - A handful of whole Oreos (4 to 6) to decorate
14 - 1/4 cup white chocolate, melted for drizzling

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Cut the roll into slices. Hand them out and dig in right away.
02 - Take off the plastic wrap. Drizzle melted white chocolate all over the top, plant a few whole Oreos on, and scatter more crumbs for that finishing touch.
03 - Roll up the cake again and keep the filling snug inside. Cover the whole thing tightly in plastic wrap. Chill it for at least an hour to firm up.
04 - Carefully unroll the cooled cake. Spread the Oreo-flecked cream cheese filling from end to end.
05 - Whip up the softened cream cheese and butter together until it’s smooth. Slowly mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla until it’s creamy. Stir in those Oreo crumbs gently so they’re spread through the filling.
06 - Before the cake comes out, shake a decent layer of powdered sugar over a clean towel. When baking is done, flip the cake out onto the towel, peel off the parchment, and, while it’s warm, wrap it up in the towel from the short side. Let it cool off all the way.
07 - Spread the batter in your lined pan. Pop it into the oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Pull it out when a toothpick poked in the middle comes out clean.
08 - In a big bowl, mix your chocolate cake mix, eggs, oil, water, and vanilla. Beat until you can’t see lumps and it’s nice and smooth, just follow the box or your own recipe.
09 - Get your oven hot at 350°F/175°C. Line up your 10x15 pan with parchment paper so it won’t stick.

# Additional Tips:

01 - If you’re really into Oreos, toss a few more in the filling to make it even richer. Roll up the cake when it’s warm so it stays in one piece.
