👩‍🍳 Instructions

OREO CAKE LAYERS

1. Preheat oven to 175°C. Line three 20 cm cake pans with parchment paper.
2. Separate the Oreo filling from 8 cookies. Crush cookies in a bag and set aside.
3. In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and crushed Oreos.
4. Mix buttermilk and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
5. Beat butter, oil, sugar, and Oreo filling for 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time.
6. Alternatively, add dry and wet ingredients, finishing with the dry mix.
7. Divide batter into pans and bake for 20–22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
8. Cool on a rack, then remove from tins to cool completely.

OREO CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

1. Let butter and cream cheese sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
2. Separate 2 Oreos and crush the cookies.
3. Cream butter and Oreo filling for 5 minutes. Add cream cheese and beat 1 minute.
4. Gradually add powdered sugar on low speed. Mix in crushed Oreos.

ASSEMBLING

1. Place one sponge on a cake board. Spread frosting evenly.
2. Repeat with the remaining layers, then add a thin crumb coat.
3. Refrigerate 20 minutes, then frost completely with the final layer.
4. Decorate with extra Oreo crumbs and halves.

💡 Notes

• If you prefer less sweetness, use ⅔ of the Oreo filling in the frosting.
• Can be made ahead — store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Let slices come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
