Tips for Success

To elevate your baking skills and ensure the best results with this Oreo Cake, be sure to measure your ingredients accurately. Using a kitchen scale can help you achieve precision, especially for the flour and sugar. Also, allowing your butter to come to room temperature before mixing it into the frosting will create a smoother, creamier texture.

Don’t rush the baking process! Make sure your cakes cool completely before frosting to prevent the buttercream from melting. If you wish to make things ahead of time, the cake layers can be baked a day in advance and stored in an airtight container. Just remember to let them cool completely before wrapping.

Ingredients

For the Cake

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1 ½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
½ cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
1 cup crushed Oreo cookies

For the Frosting

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
½ cup cocoa powder
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
2 tbsp brewed coffee

Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.

Instructions

Prepare the Cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two round cake pans.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water and crushed Oreos.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans and bake for 30 minutes.

Make the Buttercream

In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing until combined. Add vanilla, crushed Oreos, and coffee, and mix until smooth.

Assemble the Cake

Once the cakes are cooled, place one layer on a serving platter. Spread a layer of buttercream on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining buttercream.

Chill the cake for 30 minutes to set the buttercream before serving.

Serving Suggestions

When it comes to serving your Oreo Cake, consider pairing it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra indulgence. This delightful combination not only enhances the flavors of the cake but also adds a new dimension of texture, making each bite exceptional.

Additionally, fresh berries like strawberries or raspberries can be a refreshing contrast to the rich chocolate and cookies. Their tartness will provide a nice balance to the sweetness of the cake, creating a well-rounded dessert that pleases the palate.

Storing Your Cake

To keep your Oreo Cake fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you have any leftovers, you can refrigerate them, but be sure to allow the cake to return to room temperature before serving, as this enhances the flavors and texture.

For longer storage, consider freezing your cake. Wrap it in plastic wrap and aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn and it will keep for about three months. When you’re ready to enjoy a slice, simply let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then bring it to room temperature before serving.
