I was thinking of making an Oreo cake for past 2 months.\u00a0 This might sounds totally crazy, sometimes I taste things in my mind.\u00a0 I get this feeling of how something should taste like and I try to create that taste by generating a recipe. My husband always laughs when I have these crazy moments. A lot of times I succeed by getting the taste right when creating a recipe and other times my failure leads to new findings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">In preparation for this \u201cOreo cake\u201d of mine, I have been buying a package of Oreo cookies every time I went shopping. By the time \u00a0I was ready to make the cake the Oreo cookies were gone. Then I go shopping again and this cycle has been repeating itself for the past two month!! \u00a0I am not going to deny that I might be slightly addicted to Oreo cookies:)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">This week finally I put some time aside to make my cake before we eat all the cookies again. For this cake, I am going to use a simple and easy chocolate cake recipe. We have to remember, when making any layered cake to use a recipes that is moist. \u00a0If your recipe comes out on a dryer side use one of my favorite tricks.\u00a0 Simply add 1-2 table spoon of jam and mix it well with half a cup of water (add a little extra water if need). Cherry jam is my favorite, it adds a mild flavor without interfering with integrity of the cake itself. Drizzle water\/jam mixture over the cake before icing the cake. If you wish, you can run the mixture through a coffee strainer to avoid any big chunks of cherries as destruction inside the cake. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">This Recipe is my own.\u00a0 If you want to make a cake that looks store bought but fully homemade then this is your recipe:)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Ingredients for the Cake:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">2 cups of Chocolate Cake mix (Betty Crocker Cake Mix)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">1 cup of all-purpose flour<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">\u00bc cup of sugar<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">3 eggs<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">1 teaspoon of Vanilla<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">1 1\/2 cup of milk\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">\u00bd cup of butter melted\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">\u00bd cup of coco powder<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Ingredients for the Icing:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">1 cup butter room temperature<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">1 \u00bd cup of icing sugar<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">1 package of Jello chocolate pudding<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">\u00bd cup of milk (a little less or more based on consistency of the icing)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">1 package of Oreo cookies (separate the white filling from the cookies, save enough cookies to garnish the cake, grind or crush the rest of the cookies in to crumbs)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>How to make the Cake:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">In an electric mixer, mix butter with sugar till light and fluffy, add eggs and vanilla and beat until mixed well together.
