Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 4 egg whites
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 20 Oreos, crushed (divided)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3–3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp heavy cream or milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix milk, oil, egg whites, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Add wet mixture to dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in half of the crushed Oreos.
  5. Divide batter between prepared pans and bake for 22–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  7. For frosting: beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually mix in powdered sugar, then heavy cream until light and fluffy.
  8. Fold in remaining crushed Oreos.
  9. Assemble the cake: place one layer on a plate, spread frosting, then top with second layer. Frost entire cake and decorate with Oreo crumbs or halved Oreos.
  10. Chill for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Substitute cocoa powder for half the flour to make a chocolate cake base.
  • Use stabilized whipped cream for a lighter frosting option.
  • Bake in a 9×13″ pan for a sheet cake version.
  • Add vanilla simple syrup for extra moisture.
  • Use gluten-free flour with xanthan gum for a gluten-free version.
