Chocolate Oreo Cookies N Cream Cake Ingredients

• Milk: To keep this moist chocolate oreo cake dairy-free and safe for vegans, we use unsweetened almond or oat milk in the batter. If you are not vegan or dairy-free, you can use regular whole milk or 2% milk.
• Butter: To keep this chocolatey cookies and cream cake dairy-free, we use vegan butter. If you are not vegan or dairy-free, feel free to use regular butter.
• Sugar: We recommend using organic cane sugar in this oreo cake recipe.
• Vanilla: Vanilla extract provides a lovely flavor to this oreo chocolate cake.
• Baking Powder and Baking Soda: Since we don't need to use eggs in this cake recipe, using baking powder and baking soda will help our chocolate cakes rise and get super fluffy.
• Salt: Balances the flavor and brings out flavor of chocolate!
• Cocoa Powder: Essential for giving us that chocolatey flavor!
• Flour: We recommend using regular or gluten-free all purpose flour in this chocolate oreo cake recipe. If you are using gluten-free flour, I recommend King Arthur Measure for Measure.
• Oreo Cookies: You may use regular or gluten-free oreo cookies to crumble into the cake batter and to use on top of the choclolate cake.

Chocolate Oreo Cake Instructions

Step 1: Begin by preheating your oven and greasing a metal loaf pan with non-stick spray. Mix your milk, melted butter, cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium mixing bowl.

Step 2: Add the flour and mix until a thick chocolate cake batter is formed. Then, add the crushed oreo cookies and fold them in.

Step 3: Transfer the chocolate Oreo cake batter into greased metal loaf pan and bake. While the cookies and cream cake bakes, make the frosting and prepare the Oreo cookies to use as a topping by crushing them into bite sized chunks. Drizzle the icing over the top of the chocolate cake once it's done baking and then top with Oreo cookies.

Instructions

 

Vegan Chocolate Cookies and Cream Cake

• Spray a loaf or round cake pan with non-stick baking spray.
• Preheat the oven to 375 for a loaf cake or 350 for a round, square, or rectangle cake.
• In a medium sized bowl, crush 8-10 oreo cookies into large bite-sized hunks (until you have about 2 cups) of crushed oreo cookies. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, mix the milk (I used unsweetened almond milk), melted butter, cane sugar, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt. Once the mixture is smooth, add the flour and mix until a cake batter is formed. Be careful not to over-mix the batter or the cake will be dense and dry.
• Fold in half of the oreo cookie crumbles (about 1 cup). Transfer the batter into the baking pan and bake in the oven for about 25 minutes for a round, square, or rectangle cake or 35-40 minutes for a loaf pan.
• Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing from the pan and setting it onto your serving dish.

Topping Your Vegan Chocolate Cookies and Cream Cake

• While your cake is baking, use a whisk or electric hand mixer to mix the powdered sugar, the melted butter, and cream cheese to make the cream cheese icing.
• Drizzle the icing over the cake once it's cool (or while it's still warm) and then top the cake with the remaining crushed oreo cookies.
