Make It

HEAT oven to 350°F.

SPRAY 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray. Line with waxed paper; spray with additional cooking spray.

MICROWAVE 3 oz. chocolate and butter in medium microwaveable bowl on High 1-1/2 to 2 min. or until butter is melted. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Add granulated sugar; mix well. Beat eggs in large bowl with mixer on high speed 3 min. or until thickened. Blend in chocolate mixture. Add 1/4 cup flour and baking soda; beat just until blended. Add remaining flour alternately with water, beating well after each addition. Spread evenly into prepared pan.

BAKE 15 min. or until top of cake springs back when touched; sprinkle with 1/4 cup powdered sugar. Immediately invert cake onto clean towel; remove pan. Carefully peel off paper. Starting at one short side, roll up cake and towel together; cool completely on wire rack.

BEAT cream cheese and remaining powdered sugar in medium bowl with mixer until well blended. Gently stir in 1-1/2 cups COOL WHIP.

UNROLL cake carefully; remove towel. Spread cream cheese mixture onto cake, completely covering top of cake. Roll up cake; place, seam-side down, on platter.

MICROWAVE remaining chocolate and remaining COOL WHIP in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 to 1-1/2 min. or until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after 1 min. Cool 2 min.; spread onto cake. Refrigerate 1 hour.

This cake fell in pieces. I made it twice and it was a mess. I have made cake rolls for 20 years and this was the worse.

It was GREAT! We have made it twice. It is better than a little debbie swiss roll! Way better!

SO Yummy! Creamy, cakey awesomeness. Yes it did crack, but the glaze really does help. Will make again!

This turned our exactly like the picture and was delicious. The video of how to roll the cake was helpful, as this was the first time I had ever made a roll.

Roll was very easy to make and my kids loved it. The only thing different I did was add more cool whip to the frosting.

I made this for our family Christmas dinner and got rave reviews! Yes, the cake does crack, but it's very easy to cover it up with the frosting (which is VERY creamy and yummy!). My family was very impressed. I kept hearing "Bonnie made this???"

This was fun to make but boy does it crack!! I would use a tad less flour and one more chocolate square in the cake mix - it tasted like flour and not very chocolatey to me. Also, It came out a lighter brown than the picture.

I have made this cake 4 times now and it cracks terribly EVERY time. I make pumpkin rolls many times a year and expected it to turn out the same, but it does not. The cake tastes very good, but it never looks like a roll. :(
