For Chocolate Cake

• Baking: For the best result, bake the cakes on the second shelf in the oven. This is not necessary, but it will help the cake bake evenly.

How to Make Chocolate Oreo Drip Cake with Oreo Frosting

Bake Chocolate Cake

1.Preheat oven to 170C/340F. Prepare two or four cake tins by greasing and lining them with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix self-raising flour, cocoa powder and baking powder until well combined and set aside for later.

2. In a separate bowl, beat the butter for about 1 minute.

Tip: Make sure the butter is at room temperature.

3. Add sugar to the bowl then beat the butter and sugar using a stand or hand mixer for 5 minutes. The mixture should be white/pale yellow in color after you are done.

Tip: Creaming the butter and sugar for 5 minutes ensures that air is incorporated into the mixture which helps to make the cake fluffy.

4. Add an egg to the butter and sugar mixture and mix until the egg disappears. Repeat this step with the remaining eggs. Then, add half of the flour mixture and fold or whisk it into the egg mixture. Next, add half of the milk and mix it into the batter to loosen the consistency.

5. Add the remaining half of the flour mixture to the bowl and mix until it reaches a silky consistency. The cake batter should still have some lumps. Do not overmix the batter; overmixing can result in a tough, chewy cake.

Pour an equal amount of batter into each tin and bake cakes in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Check the cakes after 20 minutes (not before) by inserting a skewer into the cakes. If the skewer comes out clean then the cakes are done.

Tip: Do not check the cakes before 20 minutes as it may result in the cake sinking in the center.

6. Safely remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the tins for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely. 

Decorate Oreo Drip Cake

7. Once the cakes have cooled add oreo buttercream frosting between each layer. Then, frost the whole cake with oreo frosting.

8. Next, smooth the frosting using a cake smoother. Then, add oreo crumbs to the bottom rim of the cake (as shown).

9. Add dark chocolate to a medium-sized bowl with 2-3 teaspoon of oil. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds, stirring in between, until liquid. Stir as it cools to prevent it from hardening.

10. Pour the chocolate drip on top of the cake and down the sides to create a drip effect. Then, leave the cake to set in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Once the frosting and the drip have set, add swirls of buttercream around the top of the cake using a pipe and nozzle. Make sure you leave a small gap in between each swirl for the oreos (as shown). Then, add oreo crumbs to the center of the cake.

10. Serve this inviting, moreish Chocolate Oreo Drip Cake with Oreo Frosting for birthdays and other special celebrations. It can also be served at tea time or as a snack with milk or tea.
