Oreo Cake

October 10, 2013

Oreo Cake. 

oreo cake @createdbydiane

One look at those dark chocolate cookie crumbs…

you know the them

maybe you know them VERY well.

They are Oreos.

Have you ever snuck a sleeve or two up to bed for a midnight snack and then well, just maybe found crumbs the next morning?

Oh, ok maybe it was just me.

Just imagine this cake along your midnight trail to late night snacking….

 

white cake

This white cake is really simple and delicious. It’s a moist white cake and goes great with Oreos!

I baked three 8inch round cakes.

I split one of the cakes in half as I wanted to have three layers of filling.

I crushed up the Oreos in a food processor  to create a spreadable filling. Oh yes, this was so good, rich and delicious and the perfect compliment to the white cake.

Buttercream frosting piled high to coat the cake.

I gave the cake a quick crumb coat, and placed it in the fridge for 20 minutes or so, just enough time to get some dishes done.

Then I added a layer of buttercream to the whole cake and smoothed it with an offset spatula.

I used to find Oreo Crumbs in a large bag at a local store, but this time they didn’t have just the crumbs, it was PIECES. I wanted the pieces to be small like crumbs and chopped them with a knife. I really didn’t read the bag well and could have easily just bought packages of Oreos as these looked like they were given a rough chop, or that they just put the broken pieces into a bag. Since these had filling in the pieces putting them in the food processor was out as it they would have stuck together. So chop, chop away I went with my knife to get them into fine crumbs.

I scooped them into my hand and pressed them onto the side of the cake.

Buttercream Frosting
 
Print
Ingredients
  • 2 cups unsalted butter (room temeperature)
  • 2 cups shortening
  • 8-12 cups powdered sugar
  • 4 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
  • (if you don't want a lot of frosting you can cut this recipe in half)
Instructions
  1. Beat butter and shortening until fluffy.
  2. Add in powdered sugar, cream and extract.
  3. Mix until smooth.
Notes
Shortening*
I have found that the brand name shortening is very dense and thick.
I prefer Walmart's Store brand of shortening it's lighter and fluffier and results in a lighter frosting when shortening is needed.
All butter would not create WHITE frosting.
If you frosting isn't really white depending on the color of the butter used, add a few drops of Americolor White Food Coloring.

Oreo filling and Crumbs

Ingredients
  • 3 cups oreos
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 1 cup buttercream frosting (recipe above)
Oreo Crumbs for Outside of cake
  • 2 cups Oreos chopped finely to create dry crumbs
Instructions
  1. Place Oreos, butter, cream and frosting into food processor and blend until it's spreadable.
Crumbs
  1. as you chop the cookies into crumbs, the dry cookies pieces will dry out the filling and allow you to keep chopping so it's dry crumbs. *If it's too moist add a teaspoon of powdered sugar while chopping.

Sometimes CRUMBS can be really GREAT!!!

The chocolate crumbs are on two layers and buttercream is in the center of the two other fillings. Looks like an Oreo inside an Oreo Cake, well almost.

    Your cake turned out so beautiful! I must admit, we do love Oreo’s or Oreo-like cookies here in my house. I could never eat cookies in bed for a snack because then I would have to share. 🙁 This would be worth getting out of bed for! I feel a late night craving coming on…

    WHO IN THE WORLD would think to just cream oreos in the food processor and turn that into a filling? YOU DESERVE A MEDAL!! This cake looks WONDERFUL, I can’t wait to make it. It won’t look as wonderful when I make it though since my frosting skills are mediocre at best – haha!

    Side note, when I need to crush Oreos without them getting to sticky I just put them into a Ziploc bag and pound away with my rolling pin (plus it helps to relieve stress!) 😉

    I just love this cake but haven’t made it in while so when I reviewed the recipe something didn’t make sense to me. Do you need 3 cups total or 5 cups total of Oreo’s? I think it is just the way its worded that is confusing me. Oreo filling and Crumbs and then it says Oreo Crumbs for the Outside of cake.

    Thanks!

      add some additional frosting until it the consistency you need to spread it

      Also, should the cream be removed from the Oreos?

    I’m confused about your measurements. Roughly, how many oreos would be in 1 cup?

    Reply
    • Diane says

      August 19, 2014 at 7:07 pm

      I purchase a large bag of oreo crumbs, I mention it in the post. So if you are using whole oreos I’d fill the cup 1 1/2 times, process them and that will most likely be close to 1 cup.

    • Bonnie says

      August 19, 2014 at 7:35 pm

      Sorry, I must have overlooked that! I’m reading it now and it said that you chopped the oreo pieces instead of using a food processor because of the filling. Does that mean you left the filling on instead of scraping it off? Also, I’ve actually never had buttercream. I was comparing recipes and I was debating between an oreo buttercream or an oreo cheesecake filling. What does buttercream taste like; it doesn’t taste like sweet butter, right?

    • Diane says

      August 19, 2014 at 7:53 pm

      The oreo pieces I found had the filling in them, so I chopped them with a knife, over and over until they were finely chopped. I did not scrape the filling off. Buttercream, it butter and sugar with a little heavy cream, so yes sweet and sugary and buttery.

    • Bonnie says

      August 19, 2014 at 8:34 pm

      Ok thanks. Also, I’ve been to two grocery stores and I can’t find clear vanilla extract. Would regular vanilla extract make the frosting muddy?

    • Diane says

      August 19, 2014 at 10:59 pm

      Regular vanilla extract is brown and the icing will a cream color, not white, white. If you have white food coloring you can use some of that to have the color be a brighter white. Americolor makes white food coloring.

  24. Bonnie says

    August 20, 2014 at 10:14 am

    Thank you. I’m good with a cream cream colour. I noticed that for the frosting you used 12 cups of powdered/confectioner’s sugar. I’m only planning on making a 2 layer cake (1 filling). Can I cut all the ingredients in half, or would the results/taste turn out different?

    Reply
    • Diane says

      August 20, 2014 at 8:16 pm

      You can definitely modify how much you make for how large a cake you will need. A three layer cake filled uses a lot of frosting. For a 2 layer cake I’m make 2/3 of the recipe, so you have enough to crumb coat and cover the cake.

  25. Sahar says

    May 5, 2016 at 12:37 pm

    For the Oreo filling, can I chop up the Oreos with a knife and then add the rest of the ingredients in a mixer? Or will it work if I add the whole Oreos to the mixer along with everything else? I don’t have a large enough chopper!

    Reply
    • Diane says

      May 7, 2016 at 7:28 pm

      Yes you can use a knife to cut them, but it will take quite a while, I’d suggest doing small batches in a chopper or food processor.

      This recipe is for white cake and that is why there are egg whites in the recipe. I have not made this recipe with any substitution, if you try one let me know how it turns out.

    Sorry if this is a silly question. For the Oreo crumb filling, is the 2tbls of butter just regular salted butter or keep to unsalted?

    Reply
    • Diane says

      February 1, 2017 at 12:04 pm

      You can use whichever butter you have on hand. I myself love salted butter 🙂 (In cake baking it can be too salty, but with all the chocolate in the crust from the oreos salted will be fine.

    […] The cake was 3 layers, 2 chocolate and 1 vanilla. Vanilla Butter Cream Icing was used between each layer as well as on the outside of the cake. While the icing was still wet I carefully added Fudgee-O crumbs to the outside of the cake as well as the base of the cake. To make the Fudgee-O crumbs I put some Fudgee-O’s into a plastic bag and crunched them up with a rolling pin. If the crumbs get a bit too moist you can add some icing sugar to the bag. This will help to dry them up. I got the idea for this cake from this one posted on the blog Created by Diane. […]
