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 (for frosting)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease or line your cake pan to ensure easy removal of the cake after baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat together the 3/4 cup unsalted butter, 1 cup light brown sugar, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until the mixture is fluffy and light in color, which usually takes several minutes.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition to incorporate fully, then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavors.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients and Add Oreos: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the 2 cups chopped Oreos gently to distribute them evenly without overmixing.
  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 edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Prepare Frosting: While the cake is cooling, make the frosting by creaming 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter with 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons of heavy cream or milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.
  7. Frost and Decorate: Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the frosting evenly over the top. Decorate with additional Oreo pieces or decorations as desired and serve.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake is completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
  • You can substitute regular butter with cultured butter to enhance the flavor profile.
  • Use fresh eggs and sift flour to avoid lumps in the batter.
  • The baking time may vary depending on your oven, so check doneness with a toothpick.
  • For a richer frosting, add a little more cream or butter accordingly.
  • Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
