Oreo Cake Recipe

Here’s a delicious Oreo Cake recipe that’s rich, creamy, and perfect for any Oreo lover:

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup hot water or hot coffee (to enhance chocolate flavor)
• 10-12 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped

For the Oreo Cream Frosting:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• ½ cup heavy cream (adjust for consistency)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 12-15 crushed Oreo cookies (remove the cream and crush the cookie part)

For the Topping (Optional):

• Whole or halved Oreo cookies for decoration
• Chocolate ganache or melted chocolate (optional for drizzling)

Instructions:

For the Cake:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
2. Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
3. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until combined.
5. Add hot water: Slowly stir in the hot water or coffee. The batter will be thin, but that’s okay!
6. Fold in chopped Oreos: Gently fold the chopped Oreo pieces into the batter.
7. Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool the cakes: Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Oreo Cream Frosting:

1. Beat the butter: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
2. Add powdered sugar: Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
3. Add cream and vanilla: Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, and continue beating until the frosting is light and fluffy. Adjust the consistency with more cream if needed.
4. Mix in crushed Oreos: Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies into the frosting.

Assemble the Cake:

1. Layer the cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a thick layer of Oreo frosting on top.
2. Add the second layer: Place the second cake layer on top and spread more frosting on the top and sides of the cake.
3. Decorate: Decorate the top of the cake with whole or halved Oreo cookies. If desired, drizzle melted chocolate or ganache over the top for extra indulgence.

Chill and Serve:

• Let the cake chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up before serving. Slice and enjoy!
