Again this cake is a product of me buying something from Williams Sonoma. If you haven’t figured it out by now, I love this store. I can always find something to buy. So this time I bought their sandwich cookie cake pan set. I made a chocolate cake from scratch with homemade Oreo butter cream icing.I hope you all try this one out, it is very good! I would love to hear how yours turns out!

Cake Ingredients:

1/2 cup coca powder
7 oz of bittersweet chocolate chips
1 and 3/4 Tbs. of unsalted butter cut up into cubes (room temperature)
1 cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 and 3/4 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs (room temperature)
1 and 3/4 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions for cake:
Melt butter and chocolate together in a bowl – I used a microwave to do this!
In separate bowl whisk together the: flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
Add in sugar, eggs and vanilla
Add in chocolate mixture until combined.
Since I used the cookie cake pans, this batter was divided into the 2 cake pans

Bake at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes

Oreo Buttercream Icing Ingredients:
1/2 package of crushed Oreo’s
4 and 1/2 cups of confectioners sugar (sifted)
1 and 1/2 sticks of unsalted butter (room temperature)
1/4 cup milk (you may need more, just eye ball this and add more if it is too thick)
1 and 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions for Oreo Buttercream Icing:
Cream butter, add sifted powdered sugar a cup at a time
Add milk, vanilla and crushed oreos
Add any extra milk if needed

Once cake is cooked and cooled place icing between the 2 cakes and you now have a Giant Oreo Cookie Cake.
