How to make Oreo cake
It was my husband’s birthday recently, and he wanted an Oreo cake. I had made an Oreo cake before (literally just Oreos and milk) but it was too dense, so I tried a different approach with delicious results. So, here’s how to make Oreo cake.
Background
We’ve had a cake recipe in our family for many years, and I’ve shared it on this blog before. It’s an easy recipe and anyone can make it.
For my husband’s birthday, I took the same recipe and threw Oreos in. I also made a couple of other adjustments.
It turned out so well. It was very rich and moist, and scrumptious!

Ingredients (batter)
4 eggs
Half a cup of sugar
1 cup of oil
1 cup of water
Half a cup of flour
2 packs of Oreos (to get 2 cups of biscuits)
1 tablespoon cocoa
1 teaspoon of vanilla
4 teaspoons of baking powder
A pinch of salt
Method
- Remove the filling from the Oreo cookies and put it aside.
- Crush the cookies in a bowl. Add one cup of water and mix. Put the mixture aside.
- In a different bowl, whisk the eggs well.
- Add the sugar to the eggs and whisk until the sugar has dissolved.
- Add the oil to the egg mixture and mix well.
- Add the flour, Oreo mixture, cocoa, vanilla, baking powder, and salt to the batter and mix well.
Bake (in a pan of about 24 by 33cm) for 20 to 30 minutes at 180°C.
Ingredients (icing)
Oreo filling
500 g icing sugar
125 g margarine
1 teaspoon of vanilla
Chocolate sprinkles
Method
- Melt the margarine.
- Add the vanilla and Oreo filling.
- This is the tricky part. Add the icing sugar bit by bit while whisking it into the margarine. Do this until the icing sugar is at your desired consistency.
