Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with 1 cup (200 g) of sugar and the vanilla extract until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Sift in the flour, half of the cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Mix until just combined, and set aside
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add the remaining sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Beat a third of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture, then gently fold in the remaining egg whites.
- Divide the batter between the two baking sheets. Spread evenly and bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool at room temperature until the pans are cool to touch.
- Dust the tops of the cakes with the remaining cocoa powder. Cover with parchment paper, and flip the cakes over to remove from the pans.
- Carefully peel away the baked parchment paper and discard. Cut each cake in half vertically, then set aside.
- In a large bowl, whip the cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Gradually incorporate the powdered sugar, then the vanilla extract.
- Use a spatula to fold in the crushed cookies.
- Evenly spread a thin layer of icing onto a cake quarter.
- Starting from one short end, tightly roll the cake into a spiral. Repeat with the remaining cake layers, placing the rolled piece at the start of each new layer.
- Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour until icing in center is slightly firm.
- Use the remaining icing to cover the cake and pipe small swirls on the top. Garnish the top with the sandwich cookie halves, and chill for at least an hour before serving.
- Enjoy!

Made it in a smaller scale. Tastes amazing loved the whole flavor combination. I suggest clean as you go, can be a little messy if you are not used to baking

I did a Mint Chocolate one with a mirror glaze (the mirror glaze was a flop! 😂) for my son's birthday. He doesn't like cake but he ate a whole piece of this without sneering once! 😂

I used this recipe to make a sausage roll cake instead of standing it vertically I just rolled it up like a Swiss roll worked great and tasted amazing. Covered it in a dark chocolate ganache and white fondant which I sprayed with edible paint

Frosting is a bit too sweet; otherwise, the cake is amazing!

I didn’t enjoy making this recipe or eating the finished product. The batter tasted like egg. While in the oven, it made a disgusting layer of wrinkles that didn’t go away. That “cake”, more like a dense sponge, tasted like wet cardboard. Wouldn’t recommend. Also, I started at 11:36 p.m. and finished at 2:47 a.m., not including the 30 minutes of cleanup.NONO

It’s a lot harder to make than expected... you also will have to mix the cake batter real well because there was a lot of chocolate stuck at the bottom and I didn’t even realize! The cake was okay... but the frosting is amazing! I have extra frosting and have been eating it for the past week haha! Save this frosting recipe for sure!
