Ingredients for the Cake:

• 2 1/4 cups (270g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
• 1 Tbsp (10g) baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1/2 cup (118mL) canola oil
• 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs, room temperature
• 3/4 cup (170g) sour cream, room temperature
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup (177mL) milk, room temperature
• 12 Golden Oreos, roughly chopped

Ingredients for the Frosting:

• 4 cups (480g) powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup (32g) cornstarch (optional)*
• 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 8 oz (226g) full-fat cream cheese, room temperature (brick-style, not the spread)
• 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Prepare Your Ingredients

Before you start, it’s essential to have all your ingredients at room temperature. This ensures that your cake will have the right texture and consistency. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C convection) or 325°F (163°C conventional) and grease and line three 6-inch cake pans.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until they are evenly distributed. This step helps ensure that your cake rises evenly and has the right texture.

3. Cream the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the room-temperature butter, oil, and granulated sugar. Use a stand mixer with the whisk attachment to beat them for about 2 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.

4. Add Eggs and Flavorings

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating on medium speed until each egg is fully incorporated. Then, add the sour cream and vanilla extract and beat just until combined. These ingredients add moisture and flavor to your cake.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Now, it’s time to combine the dry and wet ingredients. Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, turn the mixer on low speed, and pour in the milk, followed by the rest of the dry ingredients. This ensures even mixing without overworking the batter.

6. Fold in the Golden Oreos

Gently fold in the roughly chopped Golden Oreos into the batter. You don’t need to add the tiny crumbs, just the actual cookie chunks. This step adds that delightful Oreo crunch to your cake.

7. Bake

Distribute the batter evenly among the three cake pans, about 14 ounces in each pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Your cakes are ready when they release themselves from the edges of the pans and spring back when lightly pressed in the center.

8. Cool and Frost

Invert the cake layers onto a cooling rack and allow them to cool completely before frosting. While your cakes are cooling, you can prepare the delicious cream cheese frosting. Simply beat together the powdered sugar, cornstarch (optional), butter, cream cheese, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Then, generously frost your cooled cake layers.

There you have it, a scrumptious Golden Oreo cake that’s sure to delight your taste buds and impress your guests. The combination of a moist and flavorful cake with the golden, crunchy Oreos and creamy frosting is a match made in dessert heaven. Enjoy this delectable treat for special occasions or whenever you’re in the mood for something sweet. Happy baking!
