An easy and delicious Oreo cake is a dessert that combines the classic flavors of chocolate and cream with the beloved Oreo cookie. This cake typically features layers of moist chocolate cake, creamy Oreo filling, and crumbled Oreo cookies for a crunchy texture.
How To Make
To make this cake, a simple chocolate cake batter is prepared by mixing together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, eggs, vegetable oil, and milk. The batter is then poured into a prepared baking pan and baked in the oven until fully cooked and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center.
While the cake cools, the Oreo filling is prepared by mixing together cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and crushed Oreo cookies until smooth and creamy. This filling is then spread generously between the layers of chocolate cake, along with additional crumbled Oreo cookies for added texture.
Once the layers are assembled, the entire cake is frosted with a simply whipped cream frosting or a chocolate ganache. Finally, the cake is decorated with additional crushed Oreo cookies, Oreo halves, or other garnishes as desired.
This Oreo cake is a delicious and crowd-pleasing dessert that can be enjoyed for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized with different flavors of cake or filling to suit individual tastes.
Here are some tips and variations to make an even more delicious and unique Oreo cake:
Tips:
Use room temperature ingredients for the cake batter and filling to ensure even mixing and a smooth texture.
Use a serrated knife to level the cake layers for a more even surface.
Chill the cake layers and filling in the fridge for at least an hour before assembling them to make them easier to handle and less likely to crumble.
Use a cake turntable and offset spatula for a smoother frosting application and a professional finish.
Decorate the cake with crushed Oreos, Oreo halves, chocolate chips, sprinkles, or other toppings of your choice.
Variations:
Swap out the chocolate cake for a vanilla or yellow cake for a different flavor profile.
Add a layer of chocolate ganache or caramel sauce between the cake layers for added richness.
Use different flavors of Oreos, such as mint or peanut butter, for a unique twist.
Make a vegan version of the cake by using plant-based milk, cream cheese, and whipped cream substitutes.
Make a mini version of the cake by using a cupcake or muffin tin to bake individual Oreo cupcakes, then layering them with the Oreo filling and frosting.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup hot water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 24 Oreo cookies
- For the frosting:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 10 Oreo cookies, crushed
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease two 9-inch cake pans with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing coliseum, sift together the flour, cocoa grease paint, incinerating grease paint, incinerating soda pop, and swab. Set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and vegetable oil until well combined. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, after each addition.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Slowly pour in the hot water and vanilla extract, whisking until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Roughly chop 8 Oreo cookies and fold them into the batter.
Divide the batter unevenly between the set cutlet kissers and singe for 30- 35 twinkles, or until a toothpick fitted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
For the frosting:
Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter on high speed until light and fluffy.
Gradually add in the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, beating until the frosting is smooth and well combined.
Crush 10 Oreo cookies into small pieces and fold them into the frosting.
To assemble the cake:
Place one of the cooled cutlet layers onto a cutlet stage or plate. Spread a generous layer of Oreo frosting onto the top of the cake layer.
Place the alternate cutlet subcaste on top of the frosting and spread another subcaste of frosting on top.
Sprinkle the crushed Oreo cookies on top of the frosting.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Oreo cake!
