This cookies and cream cake is easy to make and so delicious with a soft, moist and fluffy chocolate cake and addictive Oreo cream cheese frosting that tastes JUST like Cookies 'N Cream ice cream! If you love Oreo, then you must make this cake!
Ingredients
Cake:
- 1 cup 142g all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup 28g cocoa powder (I prefer this Dutch Process cocoa powder)
- 1 teaspoon black cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ cup 150g granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup 60ml sunflower oil
- ⅓ cup 60ml sour cream
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup 120ml hot coffee
Frosting:
- ½ cup 125g cream cheese softened
- ¾ cup 180ml cold whipping cream
- 4 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoon finely crushed Oreo cookie crumbs (only the cookie part without the filling)
- 1 cup crushed Oreos (about 7 Oreo cookies, plus more for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square cake pan with parchment paper.
- Sift flour, cocoa, baking powder and baking soda into a large bowl. Add sugar and salt and whisk to blend well.
- Make the cake batter. Combine egg, oil, sour cream and vanilla in a medium bowl and whisk to blend well. Pour into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix with an electric hand mixer on medium-low until blended. It will be thick and somewhat dry. Add the hot coffee gradually in two stages to minimize clumps forming and beat until evenly combined and the batter smooth.
- Spread batter into prepared pan and bake for 24-26 minutes until the cake spring back when pressed gently and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool for 15 minutes before lifting out of the pan and onto the rack to cool completely.
- Make the frosting. Beat cream cheese until very smooth. Add 2 tablespoon cream and beat until very smooth. Continue adding cold cream very gradually while beating so it blends in evenly. Once it is smooth, beat until it forms firm peaks, then beat in sugar one tablespoon at a time. Mix in vanilla, then fold in cookie crumbs. Lastly, fold in crushed Oreos.
- Spread frosting evenly over cooled cake and then top with extra pieces of Oreo cookies. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until needed.
