Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 15×10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until thickened and pale, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract and vegetable oil.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, alternating with the milk, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake springs back when touched.
- After baking, turn the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar and carefully roll it up starting from a short side. Allow it to cool completely.
Making the Cookie Dough Filling
- Beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy. Mix in the vanilla extract and milk until smooth.
- Gradually add the flour, stirring in the mini chocolate chips and mini M&M's once combined.
Assembly
- Once the cake has cooled, unroll it gently and spread the cookie dough evenly over the surface.
- Spread softened vanilla ice cream over the cookie dough layer.
- Re-roll the cake without the towel, ensuring fillings are tightly packed inside. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours.
- Prior to serving, let the cake roll sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make slicing easier.
Notes
When rolling the cake, be gentle to avoid cracking. Consider adding a pinch of espresso powder for extra flavor. Freeze overnight for best results.
