This cake is created by folding crushed Oreos into cake batter, resulting in a moist, gooey dessert filled with chocolate chunks and milk-soaked softness. The final texture is rich and chewy with pockets of melt-in-your-mouth Oreo bits, giving it an indulgent, rebellious appearance.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 20 OREO cookies Oreos, crushed about 2 cups worth, crushed into chunks

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Stand mixer or hand whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and sugar to ensure everything is evenly combined.
  3. Add the vegetable oil, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix with a stand mixer or whisk until the batter is smooth and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes. The batter should be homogeneous with no lumps.
  4. Gently fold in the crushed Oreos, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. The mixture should be chunky with bits of Oreo visible.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. The batter will be thick and textured due to the Oreos.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. The top should be slightly cracked and aromatic.
  7. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. The cake should feel dense but moist to the touch.
  8. Once cooled, cut into slices to reveal the rich, chocolatey interior with Oreo chunks peeking through. Serve as is or with a drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.

Notes

For a more chocolatey flavor, add a handful of chocolate chips to the batter before baking.
