Cake Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened, at room temperature)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 10–12 cookies)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or a loaf pan to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with sour cream, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies and mini chocolate chips if using, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt or loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for even baking. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes (50 to 60 minutes if using a loaf pan), or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve: Once fully cooled, slice the cake and serve it plain or with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.
Notes
- For an extra treat, top the cake with chocolate ganache or cream cheese frosting.
- Try flavor variations by adding mint extract or using different Oreo cookie flavors.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for extended freshness.
