🫙Pantry Staples(1)
- one teaspoon of baking powder (5 ml)
📦Other(1)
- 28 crushed up Oreos
👨🍳 Instructions

Once baked, add some chocolate frosting and sprinkle some Oreos on top.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Crush the Oreos into a mix of fine crumbs and pea-sized chunks rather than a uniform powder, since the baking powder needs the cookie's fat content to distribute evenly for proper leavening, and larger chunks retain a distinct textural contrast against the cake crumb.techniquepea-sized chunks + fine crumb mix
- ✓Let the crushed Oreo and milk mixture sit for 5 minutes before baking so the cookie crumbs fully hydrate, since dry starch granules in the cookie need time to absorb liquid and swell, preventing a gritty or dry final texture.timing5 minutes
- ✓Check for doneness at the 15 minute mark using a toothpick inserted in the center, since the high sugar content from the Oreo filling caramelizes quickly and can cause the edges to overbake before the center sets if you rely on the full 20 minutes by default.timing15-20 minutes
- ✓Use full-fat milk (3.25% fat) rather than skim, because the fat content helps carry flavor compounds from the cocoa solids in the Oreos and contributes to a moister crumb since this recipe has no added butter or oil for richness.ingredient3.25% milk fat
- ✓Let the cake cool for at least 10 minutes before frosting, since applying frosting to a cake above 100°F will cause the fat in the frosting to melt and slide off rather than adhere to the surface.timing10 minutes, below 100°F
