Ingredients

The following ingredients have 24 Servings
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 4 oz butter
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 24 Chocolate Sandwich Cookies (Oreos) – about 2/3 package

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  • In a saucepan, combine the butter and the buttermilk and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the flour and cocoa. Stir in the sugar. Add in the eggs, sour cream, red food coloring, vanilla, baking soda and salt. Mix to combine.
  • Pour the boiling butter/buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture, a little at a time, stirring constantly. The batter will be very thin. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake the cake for 25-28 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • To make the frosting, beat together the cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add in the powdered sugar a little at a time. Beat for 2-3 minutes.
  • Put the cookies in a large zip top bag and use a mallet to crush and break them up. Stir the cookie pieces into the frosting and frost the cake. Cut into slices to serve.
