Ingredients
Scale
Cake Base Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups (156 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) buttermilk
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons red food coloring
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
Instructions
- Prepare the oven to 350F (175C) and prepare a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan by lining with parchment paper and applying a light grease coating.
- Combine dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl, whisking flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly integrated.
- In a separate large bowl, blend buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and white vinegar. Gradually incorporate dry ingredients into wet mixture, stirring until just combined and smooth.
- Transfer batter into prepared pan, ensuring even distribution. Bake for 12-15 minutes until a toothpick emerges clean from the center. Allow minimal cooling.
- Generously dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar. Carefully invert cake onto towel, removing parchment paper. Gently roll cake with towel while still warm, then set aside to cool completely.
- Prepare filling by whipping cream cheese and butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until silky. Fold in vanilla extract and crushed Oreo cookies.
- Carefully unroll cooled cake and spread Oreo cream cheese filling evenly across the surface. Roll cake back up, excluding the towel.
- Create ganache by heating heavy cream in a saucepan until it reaches a simmer. Pour over chopped chocolate and let rest for 5 minutes. Stir until glossy, then incorporate butter.
- Transfer cake roll to serving platter and generously drizzle ganache over the top, allowing it to cascade down the sides. Garnish with whole and crushed Oreo cookies for dramatic presentation.
Notes
- Choose high-quality cocoa powder for richer chocolate flavor, enhancing the overall taste of the red velvet cake roll.
- Ensure ingredients like buttermilk and eggs are at room temperature for smoother batter and more even baking.
- Roll the cake while it’s still warm to prevent cracking and make rolling easier, using a powdered sugar-dusted towel to prevent sticking.
- Chill the cake roll before serving to help the filling set and make slicing cleaner and more precise.
