Ingredients
Scale
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup coarsely chopped Oreo cookies (about 10 cookies)
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
- 1 cup finely crushed Oreo cookies (about 10 cookies, for frosting)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
- Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk, beginning and ending with flour. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in chopped Oreos.
- Divide batter evenly between the pans and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar. Add heavy cream and vanilla, then beat until fluffy. Fold in crushed Oreos.
- Assemble cake: Place one layer on a stand, spread frosting on top, add second layer, then frost the entire cake. Decorate with extra Oreos if desired.
- Let cake come to room temperature before serving. Store covered at room temp for 2–3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Double-stuffed Oreos add extra richness.
- You can turn this batter into cupcakes (bake 18–20 minutes).
- A pinch of espresso powder in the frosting adds a mocha twist.
