Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Waiting for the oven to reach the right temperature can be the hardest part, but trust me; it’s well worth the wait. A properly preheated oven ensures an even bake, which is essential for the fluffy texture of your cake.
While the oven warms up, grab your 8-inch round cake pans. Give them a quick spray with non-stick cooking spray, or you can use parchment paper for an extra layer of assurance. This step is crucial as it prevents your wonderful Golden Oreo Delight from sticking, ensuring it comes out beautifully.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. The blending of these dry ingredients creates the foundation for your cake. Remember to aerate the flour while whisking; it’s a small but vital step to achieve that light and fluffy texture we all adore.
In another bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step is where the magic begins. As you beat the butter and sugar, imagine the sweetness that will soon fill your mouth with every bite of Golden Oreo Delight.
Incorporate the eggs one at a time, allowing each to blend in fully before adding the next. Then stir in the vanilla extract. The warm scents of vanilla will envelop your kitchen. This liquid gold adds depth and enhances the overall flavor of your cake!
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and finish with the dry ingredients for the best texture. This will create a smooth batter, rich with flavor. Using a spatula, fold in crushed Golden Oreos to incorporate those cookie bits, adding a delightful crunch to your delicious cake.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Carefully place them in the oven and let them bake for 25-30 minutes. Esteemed bakers know the smell of cake baking is an experience in itself, so enjoy those sweet scents wafting through your space. Keep an eye on your cakes; they’re typically ready when a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Once baked, remove your cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. After that, turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely. This step is essential; a properly cooled cake will be easier to frost and will hold its shape wonderfully
While your cakes cool, let’s move on to the frosting. Beat together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and crushed Golden Oreos, creating a fluffy concoction that is simply irresistible. As you whip the frosting, don’t forget to taste – it’s all about hitting that sweet spot!
Once your cakes are completely cool, it’s time to layer them with luscious frosting. Spread a generous amount on top of one layer, then gently place the second layer on top. Coat the top and sides with frosting, creating a smooth, beautiful finish. The layers of cake, frosting, and cookies will make every bite of Golden Oreo Delight a dream.
Feel free to get creative! Crumble more Golden Oreos on top or use it to decorate the sides of the cake. Adding sprinkles or chocolate drizzle makes for a visually stunning dessert. This is your masterpiece; let your creativity shine!
Notes
Note 1: Room Temperature Ingredients
Using room temperature ingredients, especially eggs and butter, can make a significant difference in the texture of your cake, allowing for a more consistent batter.
Note 2: Cake Storage
Store any leftover Golden Oreo Delight in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or in the fridge for up to a week. However, I guarantee it might not last that long!
Note 3: Frosting Consistency
If your frosting is too thick, add a tiny splash of milk to achieve the ideal spreading consistency. If it’s too thin, simply add a touch more powdered sugar.
