For the Cake:
- 3/4 cup unsalted cultured butter (cool room temperature)
- 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 large egg yolk (room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (see notes below for measuring)
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 cups chopped Oreos
For the Frosting:
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch fine sea salt
- Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together 3/4 cup of unsalted cultured butter, 1 cup light brown sugar, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 egg yolk one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Add Oreos: Fold in 2 cups of chopped Oreos gently, distributing them evenly throughout the batter without over-mixing to maintain the cake’s texture.
- Bake the Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Prepare the Frosting: While the cake cools, beat 6 tablespoons unsalted butter in a mixing bowl until creamy. Gradually add 1 cup powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly. Add 2 teaspoons heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of fine sea salt. Beat until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.
- Frost and Serve: Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the frosting evenly over the top. Optionally, garnish with additional chopped Oreos or Oreo crumbs. Slice and serve.
Notes
- For best results measuring flour, spoon it into the measuring cup and level with a knife rather than scooping directly.
- Room temperature eggs and butter ensure even mixing and better texture.
- You can chill the cake after frosting for firmer slices.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
