Oreo Peanut Butter Cake
This Oreo peanut butter cake is a soft chocolate cake with a Oreo peanut butter pie filling. It is topped with Oreo peanut butter buttercream.
This Oreo peanut butter cake is inspired by the Oreo peanut butter cakesters! I can’t imagine a more better combo than Oreo and peanut butter. The best part about the cake is that filling. It tastes just like peanut butter Oreo pie filling!
The cake is topped with an Oreo peanut butter buttercream. The addition of peanut butter, this is a not too sweet type of cake.
Tips for making the cake
Here are my tips, so yours turns out like this recipe!
- Tip 1: Make sure the flour is spooned and leveled. If you stick the measuring cup into the flour, it will compact it. This results in a dryer cake.
- Tip 2: The filling and frosting gets made right before you need them. The cakes can be made ahead of time.
- Tip 3: The filling is almost like a mousse. It is whipped cream with cream cheese. Once it is added, it gets mixed on high speed until stiff peaks. It makes such a creamy but not too sweet filling.
- Tip 4: The buttercream gets mixed on high speed for a total of four minutes. This insures it is a really light and fluffy frosting.
