Vanilla Oreo Cake
Ingredients:
For the Vanilla Cake:
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk
1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 10-12 cookies)
For the Oreo Buttercream Frosting:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
¼ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 10-12 cookies)
Directions:
Prepare the Vanilla Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
Prepare the Oreo Buttercream Frosting:
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until well combined.
Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and fluffy.
Stir in the crushed Oreo cookies until evenly distributed.
Assemble the Cake:
Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of Oreo buttercream frosting on top.
Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining Oreo buttercream.
Optionally, decorate with additional crushed Oreos or whole Oreo cookies on top.
