This Oreo Cake may look super intimidating to make, but really it's so easy...

 

I made this cake for my friend who celebrated her birthday a few weeks ago. I was very much tempted to buy one , but I opted not to, since  gifting  her a cake which is made from scratch is more thoughtful and more meaningful. So in spite of my lingering tiredness and laziness, I push through and boy, I am so proud of it.

Since this is my first time making this cake, I was worried on how the batter turned out. It was too runny. I thought the batter before adding the boiling water was already perfect to bake. Despite of my doubts, I went ahead and pour the batter in the pre- prepared pan and bake this cake in 300 F pre heated oven.

Forty to forty-five minutes later, this Chocolate Oreo Cake feels like a miracle… very moist and a very chocolate-y from the dark powder chocolate and dense from the butter and egg. This chocolate here is utterly delicious. And it is even better the next day.

Although I found the frosting too sweet, and the birthday celebrant agreed with me, the rest of the guest found the frosting perfect.

So after dinner, we watched a movie and let this cake sit on the table as we came back for second and third slice of this dessert. I know. This is not an ideal scenario for a health freak like me, but I thought once in awhile, it does not hurt to indulge.

Notes
Recipe adapted from Life Love Sugar Blog

I used number 11 tip to decorate. When you use other tip, the Oreo crumbs get stuck on the tip creating an ugly looking flower. OR, IF YOU WAN TO USE A FLOWER TIP, YOU CAN SET ASIDE ONE CUP OF THE ICING BEFORE ADDING THE OREO AND JUST COLOR IT BY ADDING A SMALL AMOUNT OF HERSHEY'S CHOCOLATE POWDER TO GET A FLOWER EFFECT.
