Yield Makes 20 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pkg. (2-layer size) yellow cake mix
4 eggs
1 cup plain nonfat yogurt
1/2 cup oil
3 Tbsp. powdered sugar
1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 container (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese Spread
2 oz. BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, divided
3 Tbsp. MAXWELL HOUSE Instant Coffee
1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Line greased 15x10x1-inch pan with parchment or waxed paper. Grease and flour paper; set aside. Beat first 4 ingredients in large bowl with mixer until well blended. Spread 3 cups batter into pan; tap pan gently on counter to remove any air bubbles. Pour remaining batter into 4 to 6 paper-lined muffin cups. Bake cake and cupcakes 15 min. or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean.
  • Meanwhile, place large sheet of parchment paper on top of clean kitchen towel; sprinkle evenly with 3 Tbsp. powdered sugar. Invert cake onto towel; remove pan and top sheet of parchment paper. Starting at 1 of the short ends, roll up cake with parchment paper and towel. Cool on wire rack 30 min. Remove cupcakes from pan to wire rack; cool completely. Set cupcakes aside for another use.
  • Grate enough chocolate to measure 1 Tbsp. grated chocolate; set aside. Microwave remaining chocolate in small microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 min. or until partially melted. Stir until completely melted. Beat 1/2 cup powdered sugar and cream cheese spread in small bowl with mixer until well blended. Stir in melted chocolate.
  • Unroll cake; remove paper and towel. Spread cake with cream cheese mixture; roll up. Refrigerate 30 min.; place on serving plate. Stir instant coffee granules into COOL WHIP; spread over log. Refrigerate at least 2 hours. Cut into 20 (1/2-inch-thick) slices to serve. Sprinkle with reserved grated chocolate.
