Our favorite is to serve it with berries and a steaming cup of coffee for a delicious afternoon break.

Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

Tips for making Vanilla Oreo Cake

Serving Suggestions
- Complementary Flavors: Pair a slice of Vanilla Oreo Cake with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream. The contrast of warm cake and cold ice cream is heavenly. For a touch of indulgence, drizzle some chocolate or caramel sauce over the top.
- Fresh Berries: Add a burst of freshness with a side of fresh berries like strawberries or raspberries. Their natural sweetness balances the rich flavors of the cake.
- Coffee or Tea: Enjoy your Vanilla Oreo Cake with a cup of your favorite coffee or tea. The warm beverage complements the sweetness of the cake and enhances the overall experience.
- Garnish Galore: Get creative with garnishes. Sprinkle extra crushed Oreo cookies, dust with powdered sugar, or add a dollop of whipped cream. These finishing touches not only add flavor but also make your cake visually appealing.
- Personalized Slices: If you’re serving this cake at a gathering, consider pre-slicing it into smaller portions. This way, your guests can enjoy without the hassle of cutting their slices.
Cooking Tips

- Quality Ingredients: Begin with high-quality ingredients, especially the cake mix and Oreo cookies. Using fresh, premium ingredients will elevate the flavor of your cake.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Bring your eggs, butter, and milk to room temperature before you start baking. Room temperature ingredients mix more evenly, resulting in a smoother batter and a better rise.
- Crushed Oreo Consistency: When crushing the Oreo cookies, aim for a mixture of fine crumbs and slightly larger pieces. This balance creates a delightful texture in your cake.
- Even Distribution: After adding the crushed Oreos to the batter, fold them in gently to ensure even distribution. This ensures that every bite is packed with that Oreo goodness.
- Avoid Overmixing: Be mindful not to overmix the batter once you’ve added the dry ingredients. Overmixing can lead to a dense cake. Mix until just combined for a light, tender crumb.
