A rich and indulgent Oreo cookie cake with moist layers and creamy cookies and cream frosting, perfect for any occasion and easy to make with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (312 grams)
  • 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar (350 grams)
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (113 grams), softened
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup whole milk (240 ml)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups crushed Oreo cookies (about 15 cookies, roughly chopped)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (227 grams), softened
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (113 grams), softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar (360 grams), sifted
  • 2–3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup finely crushed Oreo cookies (about 10 cookies)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Using a mixer on medium speed, beat softened butter until smooth and fluffy (2-3 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla extract.
  4. Alternately add the dry mixture and milk to the butter-egg mixture, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix on low speed just until combined.
  5. Fold in 1 ½ cups roughly chopped Oreos gently with a spatula.
  6. Divide batter evenly into prepared pans and smooth tops. Tap pans lightly to release air bubbles.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
  9. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and softened butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing on low speed. Add heavy cream and vanilla extract, beating until fluffy.
  10. Fold in 1 cup finely crushed Oreos gently into the frosting.
  11. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a thick layer of frosting on top. Add the second cake layer and cover the entire cake with remaining frosting, smoothing sides and top.
  12. Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes to set the frosting before slicing.

Notes

Use room temperature butter and eggs for smoother batter. Crush Oreos to a mix of small chunks and crumbs for texture. Cool cakes completely before frosting to prevent melting. Adjust frosting consistency with heavy cream or powdered sugar as needed. For a neater finish, apply a crumb coat before the final frosting layer.
