Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 ½ cups crushed Oreo cookies (about 15 cookies)
Optional Toppings:
- White chocolate drizzle
- Extra crushed Oreos
- Whipped cream
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or a bundt pan.
- Crush the Oreo cookies into small chunks—some fine, some slightly larger for texture.
Step 2: Mixing the Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Step 3: Incorporating the Oreos
- Gently fold in the crushed Oreos, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
Step 4: Baking the Cake
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 5: Finishing Touches
- Drizzle with white chocolate or sprinkle extra crushed Oreos on top for added texture.
- Slice and serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
