Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened, at room temperature)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 1012 cookies)
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or a loaf pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
  2. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, which should take about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with sour cream, mixing just until combined. Finally, gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies and mini chocolate chips, if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed without overmixing.
  3. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt or loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes if using a bundt pan, or 50-60 minutes if using a loaf pan, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. Serve: Once the cake is fully cooled, slice it and serve as is. For an extra indulgence, enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming and better texture.
  • Do not overmix once you add the flour to keep the cake tender.
  • Check the cake doneness a few minutes before the minimum baking time to prevent overbaking.
  • If you like, you can substitute regular Oreos with flavored ones for a unique twist.
  • The optional mini chocolate chips add extra chocolate bursts but can be omitted if preferred.
