Equipment Used for This Recipe
Notes & Tips
- Make-Ahead: Bake Oreo Cake layers and frost up to 2 days in advance. Assemble the day you plan to serve it.
- Storage: Because of the ganache I suggest storing it in the fridge. It will last up to 5-7 days.
- Freezer: Place in an air-tight container and freeze for up to 2 months. I suggest freezing on a plate for one hour to flash freeze the frosting. Thaw before serving.
- Don’t overbake: Overbaking will lead to a dry cake. Bake just until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or with just a few crumbs. If your toothpick contains wet batter keep baking a few minutes at a time.
- Flat Layers: You can use cake strips to help bake flat layer cakes. However, I prefer to use a cake leveler after baking. (Bonus: You can snack on it while building your cake).
- Round Cake Boards: These make it easy to move your Oreo Cake from counter to table. It also makes transport more stable if you want to take it to a birthday party. If you don’t like these you can also use a cutting board instead.
- Smooth Frosting: Get smooth frosting every time with an Angled Spatula.
- Use a Squeeze Bottle: to drip ganache down the sides of the Oreo Cake.
