Ingredients

Scale

Cake:

3/4 cup unsalted cultured butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups chopped Oreo cookies

Frosting:

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons heavy cream (estimated for creaminess)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (estimated to match cake frosting flavor)
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour your cake pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes on medium speed.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition to incorporate fully. Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients and Fold in Oreos: Gradually add the all-purpose flour into the wet ingredients, mixing gently to avoid overworking the batter. Fold in the chopped Oreo cookies evenly throughout the batter.
Bake the Cake: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Prepare Frosting: While the cake cools, make the frosting by creaming together the softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Add heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, beating until the frosting is light and fluffy.
Frost and Decorate: Once the cake has completely cooled, spread the prepared frosting evenly over the top. Decorate with additional crushed Oreos if desired, and serve.

Notes

Make sure to soften the butter at room temperature for better creaming results.
Check the cake early at 22 minutes to avoid overbaking; oven temperatures vary.
Adding a tablespoon of heavy cream to the frosting helps achieve a creamy texture.
For a layered cake, double the recipe and split the batter into two pans.
Use full-fat butter and cream for the richest flavor.
