CHOCOLATE OREO® CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a deep 10-inch round cake pan.
• Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, 1 to 3 minutes. Let cool.
• Combine sugar and butter in a medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until fluffy and well combined. Mix in cooled chocolate. Beat in eggs and egg yolks, one at a time. Mix in 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
• Sift flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda together in a different bowl. Add flour mixture to batter in 3 additions, mixing well after each addition. Beat in water. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 19 minutes. Immediately invert onto a cooling rack and let cool.
• Meanwhile, whip shortening with an electric mixer until creamy, about 5 minutes. Beat in cream until smooth, about 5 minutes. Add confectioners' sugar; beat on high speed until frosting is light and fluffy, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Spread frosting over the top and sides of the cooled cake. Cut 4 cookies into quarters using a sharp knife. Arrange quartered cookies around the top edge of the cake. Crush remaining 4 cookies; press crumbs against the sides of the cake.

CHOCOLATE OREO CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Prepare the cake mix with the oil, water, and eggs. Bake in two 9-in cake pans per directions on the box.
• While cake is baking, cream the sugar and softened cream cheese together until fluffy. Fold in the cool whip and crushed cookies. Set aside.
• Cool cakes completely.
• To assemble, place one cake, top side down, on the plate. Spread cream cheese "middle" on the top. Top the middle with the second cake, top side down. Place the one cup of chocolate frosting in the microwave just long enough to soften to make it easier to spread. Let cool just a second if too runny. Spread on the top of the cake, but not the sides.
• NOTE: You can omit the crushed cookies if you don't have them on hand. Then the cake itself becomes as a true oreo cookie. YUM!

OREO CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter three 6-inch round cake pans or springform pans then line the bottoms with parchment.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Gently mix using a spoon.
• Beat the 1 1/2 sticks butter and the granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed in a alarge bowl until light and fluffy.
• Add the eggs and vanilla and beat on high speed until incorporated. (High speed will prevent this mixture from separating.)
• Add the yogurt and melted chocolate and mix on medium-high speed quickly until incorporated.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold in with a rubber spatula until no streaks of flour remain.
• Divide the batter equally among the 3 prepared pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 22 to 25 minutes.
• Loosely cover the pans with foil and let them cool completely on wire racks. Remove the cakes from the pans and peel off the parchment.
• For the frosting: Beat the cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until smooth. With the machine running, slowly add the confectioners' sugar one spoonful at a time until the frosting is smooth and creamy (do not overbeat). Stir in the vanilla and Oreo crumbs. Refrigerate until needed.
• When the cakes are cool, trim off the domed tops with a serrated knife to make the cakes level.
• Place one cake trimmed-side down on a cake stand or platter. Spread a spoonful of frosting on top in an even layer. Top with the second cake, trimmed-side up and spread another layer of frosting on top. Repeat with the third cake, trimmed-side down, and some more frosting.
• Once all the cake layers are stacked, spread a thin layer of the frosting over the top and sides of the cake with an offset spatula. (This is the crumb coat.) Refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
• Cover the cake with more frosting, reserving some of the frosting for decorating the top. Frost the cake as evenly as possible. Sprinkle some of the remaining Oreo crumbs over the top of the cake. Transfer the reserved frosting to a pastry bag with a medium round tip. Pipe rosettes around the rim of the cheesecake then top each rosette with a mini Oreo. Enjoy right away or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
