Ingredients

Scale

Cake

  • 3/4 cup unsalted cultured butter
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chopped Oreos

Frosting

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease or line your cake pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the 3/4 cup unsalted cultured butter, 1 cup light brown sugar, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract for flavor.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients and Incorporate Oreos: Gradually add the 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour to the wet mixture, folding it in gently. Then fold in the 2 cups of chopped Oreos to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Bake the Cake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan and bake for 22-30 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Prepare Frosting: While the cake cools, make the frosting by creaming together 6 tablespoons unsalted butter and 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons heavy cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, then beat until light and creamy.
  7. Frost and Decorate: Once the cake has completely cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top and decorate with additional chopped Oreos if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake is completely cool before frosting to prevent melting.
  • Use cultured butter if available for a richer flavor, but regular unsalted butter works as well.
  • Adjust baking time according to your oven; start checking around 22 minutes.
  • For a thicker cake, consider using a smaller pan to increase depth.
  • This cake can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
