How to Make Oreo Cookie Cake

Ingredients

• 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

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F/180 C. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-inch cake pan or springform pan. If using a cake pan, line the bottom with two long strips of parchment paper in the shape of an X, then place a parchment paper round to line the bottom. If using a springform pan, just line the bottom.

   

2. In a stand mixing bowl or using a hand mixer, cream the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. This should take about 3 minutes.

   

3. Mix in the egg and egg yolk, one at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract.

4. Mix in the flour, baking soda, and salt. When almost combined, add the chopped Oreos. Use an offset spatula to evenly spread the cookie dough into the prepared cake pan.

5. Bake for 22-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the pan cool completely on a wire rack before removing.

6. Tip: If using a cake pan, have someone help you grab all of the parchment strips to remove the cookie. Then pull the parchment off and place the cookie on a serving plate.

7. While the cake is cooling, cream the butter and powdered sugar until combined. Then mix in the heavy cream, vanilla, and salt. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy.

8. Fill a pastry bag with the frosting and use a star tip to decorate the top of the cake. Garnish with sprinkles or more chopped Oreos, and enjoy!
