Ingredients for Your Oreo Cookie Cake

Gather these simple ingredients to create your masterpiece:

3/4 cup unsalted cultured butter (cool room temperature)
1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1 large egg yolk (room temperature)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (*See notes below for measuring*)
2 cups chopped Oreos
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
1 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch fine sea salt

Step-by-Step Instructions

Let’s get started on making this scrumptious Oreo Cookie Cake!

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare a 9-inch cake pan or springform pan by buttering the bottom and sides. If using a cake pan, line the bottom with two long strips of parchment paper in an X shape, followed by a parchment round. For a springform pan, just line the bottom.
Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, cream the unsalted butter with the brown and granulated sugars until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs and egg yolk one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl in between. Then, add in the vanilla extract and mix well.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture until almost combined. Fold in the chopped Oreos gently with an offset spatula.
Spread and Bake: Evenly spread the cookie dough into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 22-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack before removing it from the pan.
Make the Frosting: While the cake cools, prepare the frosting. Cream the remaining unsalted butter and the powdered sugar together until combined. Then mix in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy.
Decorate: Fill a pastry bag with the frosting and use a star tip to decorate the top of the cooled cake. Garnish with sprinkles or extra chopped Oreos for that special touch.

Tips & Variations

Here are some tips to ensure your cake turns out perfectly:

Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your eggs and butter are at room temperature for a smooth batter.
Measuring Flour: For accurate measurements, spoon flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife. Avoid scooping directly from the bag as it can compact the flour.
Chill the Cake: Once decorated, refrigerate the cake for about 30 minutes before serving. This helps the frosting set nicely.
Flavor Variations: Consider adding chocolate chips or even a layer of whipped cream between the cake and frosting for extra indulgence!
