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
  • 12 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

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease or line your cake pan to prevent sticking.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
