Know your Ingredients to make Oreo cake
Preparing that perfectly baked and delicious Oreo cake requires a mix of all these excellent ingredients, each of which adds its unique flavor making this cake perfect to satisfy your sweet tooth, so before we get into the instructions, let us take a closer look at what ingredients are required to make this delicious cake.
Oreos
Although cakes are made out of a lot of cookies from various brands, no other cookie has been as famous as Oreos for cakes. It has been all over the internet and was also trending on various platforms. What makes Oreos fit for baking a cake is that they provide a good base for making a cake batter. Another reason that makes the Oreo cake so popular is that it provides a unique and different taste other than the classic chocolate cake. And finally, it is a zero-waste and simple way of satisfying your sweet tooth at any time.
Baking Powder
Baking powder is used in this recipe to make sure that the cake bakes well and rises. This small yet important ingredient makes sure that the Oreo cake turns out to be soft fluffy and spongy and doesn’t break easily.
Milk
Milk is important to form the batter. It is used so that the batter remains thick and the cake bakes in no time.
Semi Sweeten Dark Chocolate (For the chocolate ganache)
As Oreos are already sweet, semi-sweet dark chocolate is used to prepare the ganache. Not only does it add a touch of bitterness to the Oreo cake but also makes it look visually appealing.
Heavy cream (For the chocolate ganache)
Heavy cream is to prepare the ganache. It is used in place of milk so that the ganache is thick enough to stay on the cake and not too runny.
5 Expert Tips to make the best Oreo Cake Recipe
Grind Finely
When grinding the Oreos, make sure to grind it into a fine powder and check that no big pieces are left behind. This is important as any big chunks of Oreos will let the air get inside the cake making it break. You can even pass the powder through a sieve to make sure that the powder is fine.
Dont forget Baking Powder
Don’t forget to add baking powder to the batter, because of these 3 reasons. First is that baking powder will make sure that your cake bakes well, second it is soft and fluffy and third is that the cake isn’t too fragile and doesn’t break easily.
Consistency matters
If you think that you have ground some extra Oreos and the batter seems to be too thick, do not hesitate to add a few spoons of more milk to the batter until it is in the right consistency.
Tap Tap Tap!
Once you have transferred the batter to the prepared cake pan, and are ready to bake, don’t forget this simple step. Tap the cake pan 2-3 times gently to make sure that there is no air left in the batter and that the batter is uniformly spread.
Let it rest
Once the cake is baked, take it out of the oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before spreading ganache on it. This will prevent the ganache from melting on the hot cake and will set better. Once the ganache is all spread, allow the Oreo cake to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or overnight. This will enhance the overall taste of the cake.
