INSTRUCTIONS
Golden Oreo Cake:
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour three 6″ cake rounds
and line with parchment.
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt until
well combined. Set aside.
Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream
the butter and sugar on med-high until pale and fluffy (about 3mins). Reduce
speed and add eggs one at a time fully incorporating after each addition. Add
vanilla.
Alternate adding flour mixture and milk, beginning and
ending with flour (3 additions of flour and 2 of milk). Fully incorporating
after each addition. Gently fold in chopped Oreos.
Pour batter into prepared pans and bake for about 30 mins or
until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
Place cakes on wire rack to cool for 10mins then turn out
onto wire rack.
Golden Oreo Buttercream:
Place egg whites and sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer,
whisk until combined.*
Place bowl over a pot with 1-2″ of simmering water and whisk
constantly until the mixture is hot and no longer grainy to the touch or reads
160F on a candy thermometer (approx. 5 mins)
Place bowl on your stand mixer and whisk on med-high until
the meringue is stiff and cooled (the bowl is no longer warm to the touch
(approx. 5-10mins)).
Switch to paddle attachment. Slowly add cubed butter and mix
until smooth.**
While buttercream is whipping, place oreo centers into a
microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 10 second increments until you can stir them into
a paste (make sure it’s not warm). Add this paste and the clear vanilla extract
to the buttercream and whip until smooth.
Remove about 1 cup of buttercream for dollops on top (more if
you want to use this as filling as well).
Add the Golden Oreo cookie crumbs to the remaining
buttercream and whip until smooth.***
Add a few drops of Gold color gel to the
buttercream if desired.
White Chocolate Ganache:
Place chopped chocolate and cream in a microwave-safe bowl.
Heat in 5-10 second increments, stirring in between, until smooth and combined.
Add a tiny bit of violet color gel and few drops of bright white
color gel to lighten if desired (I did – See this post for more
details). Set aside to thicken and cool completely.
Assembly:
Place one layer of cake on a cake stand or serving
plate. Top with about 2/3 cup buttercream and sprinkle with chopped Golden
Oreos if desired. Repeat with the remaining layers. Do a thin crumb coat all
over the cake and chill for 20mins.
Frost and smooth the outside of the cake with the remaining
buttercream. Chill for 30mins until firm.
Using a small spoon, place dollops of ganache around the top
edges of the cooled cake, allowing some to drip down. Fill in the top of the
cake with more ganache and spread evenly with an offset spatula. Allow to set
for a few minutes.
Pipe rosette dollops of the white buttercream on top,
slightly separated, using a 1M piping tip. Place a mini Golden
Oreo in the center of each dollop if desired.
Pipe smaller dollops of the cookie frosting in between the
red ones using a 4B tip. Fill in the top and decorate the bottom with
crushed Golden Oreos if desired.
