Ingredients
Scale
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
- 1–2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional, for consistency)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a cake pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients and Mix: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, stirring gently to combine without overmixing. Fold in the chopped Oreo cookies evenly throughout the batter.
- Bake the Cake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 22-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in the pan.
- Prepare Frosting: While the cake cools, beat the softened butter in a bowl until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, continuing to beat for a creamy texture. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and 1-2 tablespoons of heavy cream as needed to achieve a smooth and spreadable consistency.
- Frost and Decorate: Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the prepared frosting evenly over the top. Optionally, decorate with additional Oreo pieces or crumbs for extra flair.
Notes
- Ensure the cake is fully cooled before frosting to prevent the buttercream from melting.
- You can substitute regular Oreos with any flavored variety for a twist.
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- For a richer frosting, add more powdered sugar or butter as desired.
