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
- 2 tablespoons cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare your cake pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together 3/4 cup unsalted cultured butter, 1 cup light brown sugar, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until the mixture is fluffy and light in color, indicating air has been incorporated.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients and Fold in Oreos: Gradually mix 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour into the wet ingredients, folding gently. Then fold in 2 cups chopped Oreos evenly throughout the batter without overmixing.
- Bake the Cake: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared cake pan and bake in the preheated oven for 22-30 minutes or until the cake turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Prepare Frosting: While the cake cools, prepare the frosting by creaming 6 tablespoons unsalted butter with 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth. Then add 2 tablespoons cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/8 teaspoon salt, mixing until fluffy and spreadable.
- Frost and Decorate: Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the surface, and decorate as desired with extra Oreo crumbs or whole cookies if preferred.
Notes
- Ensure the cake is fully cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
- You can substitute the Oreos with gluten-free cookies if needed.
- For a richer frosting, add an extra tablespoon of butter or cream.
