For now I give you this scrumptious Chocolate Oreo Cake. Early on in a new vegan’s journey comes the delicious discovery that Oreo cookies– yes, those gorgeous little black-and-white nuggets of chocolaty goodness– are vegan. And life is never quite the same again.We all can agree that Oreos aren’t health food, but it would have to be a true killjoy who does not enjoy eating one every now and then. And the holidays are a perfect excuse. My Oreo Cake is two layers of moist, velvety, soft-as-a-cloud chocolate cake sandwiching a layer of white vanilla buttercream. On top goes an icing of chocolate buttercream and some Oreo cookies. Can you imagine more deliciousness in one place? I had been wanting to share a vegan chocolate cake recipe for a long time but the recipes I’ve tried before (with my favorite, for flavor, being the one from the Candle Cafe Cookbook) tend to be too delicate and the cake almost always ends up falling apart while unmolding. For this vegan Chocolate Oreo Cake I modified my Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream and it was perfect. The cake was tender but not too fragile, and it tasted better than any chocolate cake I’ve ever had. Check to get new recipe updates by email.
The chocolate buttercream is a must-try: its creamy and chocolate-y, of course, and it looks really pretty too. I used mini Oreos as a topping and I left them whole, but you could always just use the regular-sized ones, crumble them up, and scatter them on top of the cake. Or you could leave out the Oreos altogether. Here’s the recipe, then, for a scrumptious vegan Chocolate Oreo Cake. Enjoy!
