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
- 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.
