Just enough to add that cookies n’ creme essence as well as to let everyone know that this cake is literally BRIMMING with Oreos. I folded in a few coarsely chopped Oreos to complete the cookies n’ creme combo, and boy is this stuff divine! I just love how the chopped Oreos soften as they sit in the filling, giving them that dreamy dipped-in-milk texture.Īs for the buttercream, I kept it O-rated (as in Oreo rated) by adding some crushed Oreos to the buttercream. It’s got the fluffiness of a thick whipped cream and a slight tang similar to no-bake cheesecake. That’s when this heavenly cookies n’ creme filling was born.
I wanted something light, creamy, and almost too addictive for consumption to go between those rich and chocolatey layers of cake. In addition to the chocolate wafers, the creme from the crushed Oreos just adds an extra bit of sweetness that plain sugar can’t add.īeing that this was destined to be the Oreo cake of my dreams, simply filling the cake layers with buttercream just would NOT do. It’s almost magical how the dark crumbs of sweet Oreo just melt into the batter as it bakes up, giving the cake this indescribably exquisite flavor. Īnd because this IS an Oreo cake, after all, I also incorporated some finely-crushed Oreos into the batter. My favorite cocoa powder is Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa.
There’s just something so alluring and mouthwatering about a dark, almost black chocolate cake, wouldn’t you agree? That’s why in most cases, I’ll use the darker, dutch-processed cocoa over natural cocoa powder since it lends not only a deeper color to cakes, but a deeper, more bittersweet richness. The fluffy, yet densely rich chocolate cake is perfection. You bet your momma this cake tastes TEN TIMES better than it looks! So we all know that the cake looks good, but does it taste as good as it looks? And being the Oreo addict that I am, it was absolutely crucial that this cake have ALL of the elements of a perfect Oreo cake, including:ġ) The deepest, darkest layers of moist chocolate cake FLAVORED with Oreos.Ģ) Incredibly thick and fluffy layers of cheesecake-like mousse brimming with Oreos.ģ) Rich and creamy crushed Oreo-speckled buttercream.Ĥ) And finally, an impressive crown of Oreo treats to finish it off. We all know that I spend a pathetic amount of my day dreaming about desserts. It really needs no introduction.įor quite some time now, I have been craving a good Oreo/Cookies n’ Creme (or is it Cookies and cream?) cake, and I must say that this cake definitely exceeded my expectations. Instead of coming up with some elaborate intro for this week’s blog post, can we just skip straight to this cake? Moist layers of Oreo-infused chocolate cake filled with fluffy cookies n’ creme mousse and frosted in creamy Oreo buttercream! Triple the Oreo, triple the deliciousness!
