Cake Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 0.67 cups avocado oil, canola oil or vegetable oil
  • 0.5 cups sour cream
  • 1 Tablespoon clear vanilla
  • 0.75 cups whole milk room temperature preferred
  • 6 large egg whites room temperature preferred
  • 20 pieces Oreo cookies broken into pieces

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 0.75 cups unsalted butter softened
  • 12 oz cream cheese softened
  • 5.25 cups powdered sugar
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 teaspoons clear vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon heavy cream optional
  • 10 pieces Oreo cookies pulverized to fine crumbs

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and prepare three 8-inch round cake pans by lining the bottom of each pan with a round of parchment paper and greasing the sides with baking spray.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl using an electric mixer) whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Turn mixer to low-speed and add butter, one tablespoon at a time, not adding the next until the first is completely combined.
  • Add canola oil and stir until combined, then add sour cream and vanilla extract, stirring on low-speed until completely combined. With mixer still on low-speed, add milk until combined.
  • In a separate clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites to stiff peaks.
  • Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter, ensuring no lumps remain. Carefully fold in broken Oreo pieces.
  • Divide batter evenly into prepared baking pans and bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Allow cakes to cool in pans for 15 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

Frosting

  • Cream together butter and cream cheese until creamy and well-combined.
  • Gradually add powdered sugar with mixer on low-speed, stirring in salt and vanilla extract.
  • Add cream, gradually increasing speed to high, and beat until light and smooth.
  • Evenly ice the cake with approximately ⅔ of the icing, pressing pulverized Oreo crumbs halfway up the sides.
  • Mix remaining Oreo crumbs into the frosting, then pipe swirls around the top of the cake.
  • Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Oreo cake can be made in two or three layers. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
