Description
This homemade Oreo cake is soft, chocolatey, and easy to make from scratch. It’s a no-stress cake recipe filled with crushed cookies and simple pantry ingredients, perfect for busy days when you want something comforting without extra effort.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup cocoa powder
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
¾ cup milk
½ cup vegetable oil
¾ cup crushed Oreo cookies
(Optional but acceptable to add if you already use them on site: vanilla extract or sour cream — only if they’re truly part of your standard recipe)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, milk, and oil until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies, stopping as soon as they’re evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
Avoid overmixing once the cookies are added to keep the cake soft.
Pull the cake slightly early if you prefer a more tender crumb.
This cake stays moist for several days when stored properly.
