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
  • 12 tablespoons cream (heavy cream or milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare your cake pan by greasing and lightly flouring or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a mixer, cream together the unsalted cultured butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is fluffy and light in color.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to fully incorporate them, then stir in vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients and Mix-In Oreos: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet mixture, folding gently to avoid overmixing. Fold in the chopped Oreos evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Bake the Cake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 30 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Prepare Frosting: While the cake is cooling, make the frosting by creaming together the unsalted butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Add cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, beating until light and fluffy.
  7. Frost and Decorate: Once the cake has completely cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the cake surface and decorate as desired, possibly with additional Oreo crumbs or whole cookies.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake is completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting and sliding of the frosting.
  • You can use regular unsalted butter if cultured butter is unavailable.
  • For extra Oreo flavor, crumble some Oreos on top of the frosting as decoration.
  • If a thicker frosting is preferred, add more powdered sugar; if thinner, add more cream, a teaspoon at a time.
  • The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven and the type of cake pan used.
