Cookies and Cream Cake With Oreo Cream Frosting
Ingredients
For the Chocolate Cake:
2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
1 ¾ cups (350g) granulated sugar
¾ cup (65g) unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
1 ½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 cup (240ml) whole milk
½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup (240ml) hot water or hot brewed coffee (for enhanced chocolate flavor)
For the Oreo Cream Filling and Frosting:
2 ½ cups (600ml) heavy whipping cream (cold)
¾ cup (90g) powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
15 Oreo cookies, crushed into fine to medium chunks
Optional Garnish:
Extra whole Oreos
Crushed Oreos for the sides or top
Chocolate drizzle or ganache
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch (20cm) round cake pans with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine.
Add milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Pour in the hot water or coffee gradually while mixing on low speed. The batter will be thin.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans and bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the frosting, beat the cold heavy cream in a large mixing bowl using a hand or stand mixer until it begins to thicken. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, then continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold in the crushed Oreos until well combined. Keep the cream chilled until ready to use.
To assemble, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of Oreo cream over the top. Place the second layer on top and cover the entire cake with the remaining Oreo cream.
Decorate with extra Oreos on top, a sprinkle of crushed Oreos, or a drizzle of melted chocolate.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before slicing for best texture and flavor.
