Cake
- 3/4 cup unsalted cultured butter, softened
- 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, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Prepare Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and lightly flour a cake pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is fluffy and light in color, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated. Stir in vanilla extract for added flavor.
- Combine Dry Ingredients and Mix: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet mixture, folding gently. Then fold in the chopped Oreos evenly throughout the batter.
- Bake the Cake: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 22-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Prepare Frosting: While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting by creaming the butter and powdered sugar together. Add in heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt; beat until smooth and fluffy.
- Frost and Decorate: Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the prepared frosting evenly over the top. Decorate with additional chopped Oreos or desired toppings.
Notes
- Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easy creaming with sugar.
- Do not overmix the batter once flour is added to keep the cake tender.
- Baking times may vary depending on your oven; start checking for doneness at 22 minutes.
- For a more intense Oreo flavor, add some crushed Oreos into the frosting or sprinkle on top.
- Store cake covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
