Ingredients
chocolate cake mix
1 package (18.25 ounces) (Prepare according to package instructions.)
eggs
3 (Use as directed based on cake mix instructions.)
oil
1/3 cup (Use as directed based on cake mix instructions.)
water
1 1/3 cups (Use as directed based on cake mix instructions.)
vanilla ice cream
2 cups (Softened for easy spreading.)
Oreo cookies
20 (Crushed for filling and garnishing.)
powdered sugar
1/2 cup (For dusting on top.)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan lightly, dusting with flour to prevent sticking.
2
In a large bowl, prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions, incorporating the eggs, oil, and water until smooth.
3
Pour the chocolate cake batter into the prepared jelly roll pan, spreading it evenly for uniform baking.
4
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5
As soon as the cake is done, remove it from the oven and loosen the edges with a knife. Carefully invert the cake onto a kitchen towel sprinkled lightly with powdered sugar.
6
Starting from the short end, carefully roll the cake up in the towel, jelly roll style. Allow it to cool completely on a wire rack, up to an hour.
7
While the cake cools, place 14 Oreo cookies into a zip-lock bag and crush them using a rolling pin or meat mallet until fine crumbs form.
8
Once the cake has cooled, unroll it gently and spread the softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the surface. Sprinkle the crushed Oreo cookies on top of the ice cream.
9
Carefully re-roll the cake (without the towel) and place it seam-side down onto a serving plate or tray.
10
Transfer the cake to the freezer, allowing it to set for at least 2 hours to firm up.

Before serving, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar and garnish the sides with the remaining whole Oreo cookies for an added touch.
