Slice of heaven....
I had always wanted to make a three layer cake, and this Oreo cake was being designed in my head since quite a while...originally i had wanted to make a smaller version of the same cake for my niece's first birthday...but due to certain circumstances that got cancelled...so i thought why not make it for my little one's second birthday, then again his birthday was like just two days before eid...so I finally Made it on Eid, when all my beloved family comes over, i mean why keep a good thing to yourself.
Decorate it what ever way you like |
for my three layers I made two layers of white sponge cake with oreo chunks in it, and one layer of moist chocolate cake in the centre.
For the oreo sponge I used my swiss roll sponge recipe.The only difference to the recipe i made was that i used two eggs in each cake layer instead of three and reduced the sugar a little.i didn't use any custard powder this time since i wanted a white cake
I mixed separate batches and baked the cake separately. also make sure to hand chop your oreos and not blitz them in a chopper as then they become too fine, and your cake will have more or less a brown color. Also fold inn the oreos in the batter at the very last moment before baking, so that it retains some of its crunch after baking.
For Frosting I used whipped cream powder, which i blended with half milk n half cream, to get stiffer cream.and mixed oreo chunks into it. I needed 5 packets of whipped cream powder for this big a cake, and three big packets of oreos.
reserve some oreos for decorating and chop the rest.
While completing the cake, make sure to moisten the layers with light sugar syrup. so that the layers completely merge and blend into each other, to give that "Oh So Good taste".
lovin the layers !! |
