Gather your ingredients for a cake that's a true celebration of the classic cookie we all adore.
Cake Batter:
- A mixture of sugar and all-purpose flour as the base
- Leavening agents: baking soda and baking powder for rise
- Salt to balance the sweetness
- The rich flavor of vanilla extract
- Large eggs for structure
- Vegetable oil for moisture
- Whole milk for creaminess
- Boiling water to bloom cocoa and coffee
- Cocoa powder for that deep chocolate essence
- Instant coffee to intensify the chocolate flavor
Whipped Oreo Frosting:
- Heavy whipping cream for a fluffy texture
- Oreo cookies, finely crushed into crumbs
- Powdered sugar for sweetness
- Cold water to hydrate the gelatin
- Unflavored gelatin to stabilize the whipped cream
Baking and Frosting:
- Warm up the oven for a perfect bake.
- Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
- Introduce eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla into the mixture.
- Dissolve cocoa and coffee in boiling water, whisk until smooth.
- Combine the chocolate-coffee liquid with the batter, mix until homogeneous.
- Bake until the cake passes the toothpick test.
- Let the cake layers rest until they're completely cooled.
Creating the Frosting:
- Transform Oreos into a fine crumbly delight.
- Bloom gelatin in cold water, then gently warm to dissolve.
- Whip chilled cream with sugar and Oreo dust in a cold bowl to soft peaks.
- Drizzle in the gelatin, then whip to stiff peaks without churning into butter.
Assembly: Frost the cooled cake layers with the Oreo whipped cream, crafting as simple or as fancy as desired.
