Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups chopped Oreos
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
- 2 ⅓ cups (293 grams) all-purpose flour
Sugars:
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Fats and Liquids:
- ¾ cup (170 grams) unsalted cultured butter, cool room temperature
- 6 tablespoons (85 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons heavy cream
Leavening and Seasoning:
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- Pinch of fine sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and meticulously prepare a 9-inch cake pan by greasing it thoroughly. For easier removal, create an X-shaped base with parchment paper strips and place a parchment round at the bottom.
- Using an electric mixer, whip the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes exceptionally light and airy, approximately 3 minutes.
- Incorporate eggs and egg yolk individually, thoroughly mixing after each addition and carefully scraping down the bowl’s sides. Blend in the vanilla extract until fully integrated.
- Gradually introduce flour, baking soda, and sea salt into the wet mixture. When ingredients are nearly combined, gently fold in the chopped Oreo cookies, ensuring even distribution.
- Utilize an offset spatula to spread the cookie dough uniformly across the prepared pan, creating a smooth, level surface.
- Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 22-30 minutes. The cake is ready when it achieves a golden-brown color and a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack, permitting it to set and stabilize.
- While the cake cools, craft the vanilla frosting by creaming butter and powdered sugar together until smooth. Introduce heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a delicate pinch of sea salt.
- Beat the frosting mixture on medium speed until it becomes light, fluffy, and holds a luxurious texture.
- Once the cake has reached room temperature, decorate using a pastry bag fitted with a star tip, piping the vanilla frosting across the top with artistic flair.
- Enhance the presentation by garnishing with festive sprinkles or additional chopped Oreo cookies. Slice, serve, and savor this delectable dessert.
Notes
- Soften butter at room temperature for easier mixing and smoother texture.
- Chop Oreos roughly to ensure even distribution throughout the cake batter.
- Use parchment paper strips in an X shape for easier cake removal and prevent sticking.
- Check cake doneness by inserting a toothpick – it should come out clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool cake completely before frosting to prevent melting and sliding of the vanilla frosting.
- Decorate with extra Oreo crumbs or sprinkles for a festive and professional-looking finish.
