This One Took Me To Cake Heaven!




Please try not to drool all over the screen when I tell you this is going to be an Oreo cake recipe! We all love Oreos but, come on – where are your manners? Ok, I have to admit there was a little bit of drooling going on here, as well, when I came across this recipe. Just think about it; cake… Oreos… chocolate glaze… It’s almost too much to handle!

After convincing myself that I wasn’t dreaming but this was actually a recipe I could make, I wasted no time. I had almost all of the ingredients ready, except for the Oreos (Duh! There’s no way I could hold on to a box of those for longer than 2 days!) Just a quick run to the nearest store and I was ready to make this cake. Guys, this is an easy one. If I could do it, anyone can!

I bet you thought there would be a cake mix package involved. Surprise! There isn’t! This baby is made from scratch and it’s still very simple. In fact, you could even bring in your kids to help you out with this (or have them make it for you, if you sound enthusiastic enough they won’t even notice what’s going on).

Here’s what our friends over at Group Recipes said about this gorgeous cake:

My homage to Jackie Chan’s Oreo Smash Cake. I thought a yellow cake would show the Oreo chunks more dramatically. Made from scratch. Super easy. No mixer needed. Pillow soft, moist and crammed with Oreo chunks.

I’m sorry, I got a little distracted. All I could read was “Oreo chunks”…

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup butter (200 gm)
  • 1 cup superfine sugar (160 gm)
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups plain flour (200 gm)
  • 1 level tsp baking soda
  • 2 level tsp cream of tartar
  • 2/3 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pack Oreo Double Stuff cookies (11 cookies/170 gm)

Glaze:

  • 200 gms (about 8 oz) dark chocolate
  • 2 Tbsp butter

Instructions:

Preheat oven at 350F degrees. Grease a 10 cup capacity bundt tin.

Cream butter and sugar with a handwhisk or an electric mixer, until pale and fluffy. Whisk in eggs one by one until well combined.

Combine flour with baking soda and cream of tartar. Sieve over butter and egg mixture in two lots, stir in gently until well combined again.

Combine buttermilk and vanilla and add to batter. Stir gently into batter. Break Oreos into quarters and fold through batter. Try not to eat all of them while your at it.

Scrape batter into bundt tin and bake for 20 minutes. Lower heat to 330F and bake for another 10 – 15 minutes.

Remove from oven and cool 20 minutes before turning out. Allow to cool completely.

Break chocolate up into a microwave safe bowl and microwave with the butter for 1 minute on high. Stir. If not completely melted, repeat 1 minute on medium and stir till completely melted. Let cool for a moment and then pour the melted chocolate over the cake. Allow to set before cutting cake.
