Since it is Christmas, I thought it would be fitting to post a recipe for an Oreo swiss roll cake because it resembles the yule log cake that is popular during this time I have always wanted to make a swiss roll cake, but the thought of rolling up the cake and having it crack always deterred me from making this cake. In addition, the many eggs that this type of cakes requires always scare me due to my fear of messing up the cake and wasting the ingredients. However, I finally made this cake due to a carton of heavy cream that needed to be used up and a dinner party that I was going to attend. I easily found the recipe for the Oreo swiss roll on Honey Bee Sweets. (Btw, this post is alllll the way from September, Labor Day weekend. I am sooo behind.)
This cake was easier to make than I expected. I thought it would take around 3 hours, hands on, to make it. However, I was able to finish making it in around 2 hours. This cake turned out to be a pretty successful cake, ignoring the cracks that is. I loved the texture, it was soft and spongy, not dense at all. The oreo heavy cream filling sandwiched in the roll had a pleasant taste to it; it was mildly flavored and just right, not too sweet. The oreos and cream tasted like cookies and cream ice cream, especially after you refrigerate the cake.
Here's the recipe for you to enjoy. :) Thank you Honey Bee Sweets for sharing this delicious recipe! I posted up a brief summary of the directions to help make my pictures more understandable. Please refer to Honey Bee Sweet's recipe for the ingredients and better instructions.
