In the realm of decadent desserts, there exists a culinary masterpiece that transcends the ordinary—a Rich Oreo Glazed Chocolate Cake that beckons with layers of velvety richness and an irresistibly sweet symphony of flavors. Picture this: a moist and tender chocolate cake, its deep cocoa notes interplaying with the luxurious embrace of velvety Oreo-infused cream. As you approach, the aroma is intoxicating, a harmonious blend of cocoa, vanilla, and the distinct essence of crushed Oreo cookies.
Ingredients:
For the Chocolate Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 and 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
For the Oreo Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3-4 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6-8 crushed Oreo cookies
Instructions:
For the Chocolate Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the boiling water to the batter, mixing continuously. The batter will be thin, but that’s okay.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Oreo Glaze:
- In a bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder.
- Add milk and vanilla extract to the powdered sugar mixture, and whisk until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
- Crush the Oreo cookies into small pieces and fold them into the glaze.
Assembly:
- Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate.
- Spread a thin layer of the Oreo glaze on top of the first cake layer.
- Place the second cake layer on top and cover the entire cake with the remaining Oreo glaze.
- Optionally, you can decorate the top with additional crushed Oreos or whole cookies.
- Allow the glaze to set for a little while before slicing and serving.
