Oreo Cake

The other day when I was making all my VBS snacks, I had a lot of my crushed Oreo’s left over from my Mud & Worm Pots. More VBS Snacks – #2 – Mud & Worm Pots You all know how much I hate to throw away food, and I LOVE to recreate with it as much as possible. So I used as much of the crushed Oreos as I could to make an Oreo cake. It was a very decadent, but was a HUGE hit!!!! I still have quite a bit leftover too, so there will be something else using crushed Oreo’s upcoming in the future at some point. Stay tuned. 🙂

Oreo Cake

Using my black cocoa made this cake even better and richer. It was so moist.

3 cups flour

1 cup black cocoa

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 1/2 cups softened butter, or 3 sticks

2 3/4 cups sugar

2 tsp vanilla

5 eggs

1 1/2 cups milk

roughly 3 cups crushed Oreo cookies, divided

white chocolate ganache

Preheat oven to 350* F or 190* C.

Spray a bundt pan with cooking spray.

Combine all the dry ingredients together and mix well.

Mix the butter and sugar together until creamy, then add the eggs 1 at a time, mixing in between each addition. Add the vanilla. Add 1/2 of the flour mixture and mix, then 1/2 of the milk and mix and repeat until it is all mixed into the batter.

Spoon half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly around. Spread about 1/2 of the crushed Oreos all around, then top with the remaining batter.

Bake for about 1 1/2 hours, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle.

Allow the cake to cool completely, then remove from the pan. Top with the white chocolate ganache, which is equal parts white chocolate and heavy whipping cream melted together.

Melt the white chocolate with the heavy whipping cream until it is creamy and all the chocolate pieces are melted and mix well. Then drizzle over the top of the cake. Add more of the crushed Oreos all around the top of the cake. If you want, add a few whole Oreo cookies to the top as well, “gluing” them down with a dollop of white chocolate ganache.

This decadent cake got rave reviews today. Pastor Matthew was so funny. He even asked if I had scraped out all the Oreo filling to melt down for the topping. 🙂 Don’t even think about counting calories when eating this cake. This rich cake is decadent through and though, so just eat it and ENJOY!!!!! Start counting calories again AFTER you’ve enjoyed every last crumb of this cake. It’s Ok to walk on the wild side every now and then. 🙂

Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay well and stay safe. ‘Til next time.
