How to Make Golden Oreo White Velvet Cake
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 large egg whites
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional)
- 10-12 Golden Oreo cookies, crushed
- 5-6 Golden Oreo cookies for decoration
Directions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate bowl, beat together the butter, oil, and egg whites until smooth and fluffy. Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract. Gradually add in the buttermilk while mixing. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and fluffy. If the frosting is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of heavy cream to reach the desired consistency.
-
Place the first cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of frosting on top of the first layer. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake. Sprinkle the crushed Golden Oreos on top of the cake for texture and decoration. Decorate the edges of the cake with whole Golden Oreos.
-
Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes to set the frosting. Slice and serve your Golden White Oreo White Velvet Cake.
