Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
- 2 ⅓ cups (293 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¾ cup (170 grams) unsalted cultured butter, cool room temperature
- 6 tbsps (85 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 cups chopped Oreos
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsps heavy cream
- ¾ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- Pinch of fine sea salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper strips in an X-shape and a round base for effortless cake removal.
- Creaming: Whip butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture becomes light and airy, approximately 3 minutes.
- Egg Integration: Add eggs and egg yolk individually, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Incorporate vanilla extract until fully blended.
- Dry Ingredient Incorporation: Gradually mix flour, baking soda, and sea salt into the wet mixture. Gently fold in chopped Oreo cookies, ensuring even distribution.
- Baking: Spread cookie dough evenly across the prepared pan using an offset spatula. Bake for 22-30 minutes until golden-brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cooling: Remove cake from oven and cool completely on a wire rack, allowing it to set and stabilize.
- Frosting Preparation: Create vanilla frosting by creaming butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Add heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.
- Frosting Technique: Beat the mixture on medium speed until light, fluffy, and luxurious in texture.
- Decoration: Once cake reaches room temperature, pipe vanilla frosting across the top using a star-tipped pastry bag. Garnish with sprinkles or additional chopped Oreo cookies.
- Serving: Slice and enjoy the delectable Oreo Cookie Cake.
Notes
- Precision Matters: Greasing the pan thoroughly and using parchment paper strips prevents sticking and ensures easy cake removal.
- Mix Mindfully: Whip butter and sugars for exactly 3 minutes to create a light, airy texture that’s crucial for the cake’s soft crumb.
- Egg Integration: Add eggs one at a time, scraping bowl sides to guarantee uniform mixing and prevent lumpy batter.
- Baking Sweet Spot: Watch closely during the 22-30 minute baking window; golden-brown color and a clean toothpick test indicate perfect doneness.
