Introduction

The Oreo Cookie Cake is a delightful treat that combines the classic flavors of Oreo cookies with a moist, buttery cake. Perfect for celebrations or an indulgent dessert, this cake is easy to make and sure to impress Oreo lovers.

Ingredients

3/4 cup unsalted cultured butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups chopped Oreos
6 tablespoons unsalted butter (for frosting)
1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare your cake pan by greasing it or lining with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 3: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
Step 4: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, folding in the chopped Oreos gently to distribute evenly.
Step 5: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan and bake for 22 to 30 minutes, or until the cake turns golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Step 6: While the cake cools, prepare the frosting by creaming together the butter and powdered sugar. Add a splash of cream, vanilla, and a pinch of salt to taste, mixing until smooth and spreadable.
Step 7: Once the cake has cooled completely, frost it with the prepared frosting and decorate as desired, perhaps with additional Oreo pieces.

Tips & Variations

For extra Oreo flavor, try folding some crushed Oreos into the frosting as well.
Use room temperature butter and eggs to ensure a smooth batter and even baking.
Swap the chopped Oreos for your favorite sandwich cookies for a fun twist.

Storage

Store the Oreo Cookie Cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture. If needed, you can warm slices gently in the microwave for about 10 seconds.

Ingredients

Scale

Cake

3/4 cup unsalted cultured butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups chopped Oreos

Frosting

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1–2 tablespoons cream (not originally specified, but typical for frosting)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (in frosting step but no quantity given; added for flavor)
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease or line your cake pan to prevent sticking.
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted cultured butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps incorporate air and gives the cake a tender texture.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition to ensure the batter is smooth and well combined. Stir in vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
Incorporate Dry Ingredients and Oreos: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, mixing gently to combine without overworking the batter. Fold in the chopped Oreos carefully to distribute them evenly without breaking them down too much.
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan and bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Prepare the Frosting: While the cake cools, make the frosting by creaming 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter with 1 cup powdered sugar. Add 1-2 tablespoons of cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, mixing until smooth and creamy.
Frost and Decorate: Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the frosting evenly over the top. Decorate as desired, perhaps with additional Oreo pieces or decorative toppings.

Notes

Use cultured butter for a richer flavor, but regular unsalted butter works well too.
Ensure the cake is fully cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
Adjust cream quantity in frosting depending on desired consistency.
Chopped Oreos add texture; for more crunch, add slightly larger pieces.
Store cake covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
