Step-by-step: How to make M&M’s Ferrero Oreo Cake Roll
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup Nutella or chocolate hazelnut spread
- 6 Oreo cookies, crushed
- 3 Ferrero Rocher chocolates, chopped
- 1/2 cup chocolate ganache (melted chocolate + cream)
- 1/4 cup mini M&M’s
- 2 Ferrero Rocher, halved
- Extra Oreo crumbs
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the 4 eggs and 3/4 cup sugar until the mixture is pale and fluffy. Mix in 1 tsp vanilla.
- Sift together 3/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup cocoa, 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. Fold these dry ingredients gently into the egg mixture.
- Stir in 1/4 cup whole milk until the batter is smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake 10–12 minutes, until the cake springs back lightly.
- While the cake is still warm, lift the parchment and roll the cake into a log. Let it cool completely rolled up. (If you want a visual on rolling technique, see this guide on chocolate cake rolling.)
- Whip 1 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in 1/4 cup Nutella, the crushed 6 Oreos, and the chopped 3 Ferrero Rocher to make the filling.
- Unroll the cooled cake, spread the filling evenly, then roll the cake back up tightly.
- Drizzle 1/2 cup chocolate ganache over the top. Decorate with 1/4 cup mini M&M’s, the 2 Ferrero Rocher halves, and extra Oreo crumbs.
- Chill the roll for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I make the cake roll ahead of time?
A: Yes — you can assemble it a day ahead and keep it refrigerated. Chill before serving.
Q: What if my cake cracks when rolling?
A: Re-roll it while still warm with a clean parchment to reshape. If small cracks appear, the filling and ganache will hide them.
Q: Can I use whipped light cream instead of heavy cream?
A: Heavy cream gives more stable peaks and firmer filling. Light cream may be softer, but you can stabilize it with a bit of mascarpone or cream cheese.
Q: How many servings does this make?
A: Typically 8–12 slices depending on thickness.
Q: Can I skip the M&M’s or Ferrero Rocher?
A: Yes — substitute with other candies, nuts, or extra cookie crumbs.
