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 Oreo cookies

Frosting

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare your cake pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted cultured butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create a tender cake texture.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the cake.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients and Oreos: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, folding it in gently to avoid overmixing. Carefully fold in the chopped Oreo cookies to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
  5. Bake the Cake: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Prepare Frosting: While the cake cools, prepare the frosting by creaming together the unsalted butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, mixing until the frosting is light and fluffy.
  7. Frost and Decorate: Once the cake has completely cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top and decorate as desired, adding extra Oreo pieces for garnish if you like.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter and eggs are at room temperature for easier mixing and better texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added to keep the cake tender.
  • If you prefer a more intense Oreo flavor, fold in extra crushed Oreos or use Oreo crumbs in the frosting.
  • Use a toothpick to check for doneness at 22 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
