Ingredients
Scale
For the Red Velvet Cake:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
For the Cream Cheese Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 10 Oreo cookies, crushed
For the Chocolate Ganache:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
- Prepare Cake Batter: In a large bowl, sift together flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and vinegar. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Roll the Cake: While the cake is baking, lay a clean kitchen towel on a flat surface and dust with powdered sugar. Once the cake is done, immediately turn it out onto the towel. Peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake up with the towel, starting from one short side. Let it cool completely.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and unsalted butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until fluffy. Stir in vanilla extract and crushed Oreo cookies.
- Assemble the Cake Roll: Unroll the cooled cake and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface. Roll the cake back up, without the towel, and place seam-side down on a serving platter.
- Make the Chocolate Ganache: Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Pour over dark chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Let it cool slightly before pouring over the cake roll.
- Finish and Serve: Allow the ganache to set before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Decorating Tip: For added flair, sprinkle some additional crushed Oreos on top of the ganache before it sets.
