Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup crushed vegan Oreo cookies (about 1012 cookies)
  • 1 cup vegan butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 23 tbsp almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup crushed vegan Oreo cookies (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. You can also line the bottoms with parchment paper for easy removal later.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the almond milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract. Stir until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or a whisk, gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Fold in the crushed vegan Oreo cookies.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Use a spatula to smooth the tops if necessary.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on them after the 25-minute mark to avoid overbaking.
  8. Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened vegan butter with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth.
  10. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed until combined.
  11. Add the almond milk and vanilla extract. Beat on high speed for about 2-3 minutes until the frosting is light and fluffy. If the frosting is too thick, add a little more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  12. Once the frosting is ready, fold in the crushed vegan Oreo cookies.
  13. Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate or cake stand.
  14. Spread a generous amount of the vegan vanilla frosting on top of the first layer.
  15. Carefully place the second cake layer on top of the frosted first layer. Gently press down to secure it in place.
  16. Spread frosting over the top and sides of the entire cake.
  17. For decoration, sprinkle the remaining crushed vegan Oreo cookies on top of the cake. You can also add whole Oreos around the edges for a fun touch.
  18. Once assembled, chill the cake in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to help the frosting set.
  19. When you’re ready to serve, take the cake out of the fridge and slice it into generous pieces.

Notes

  • For a richer chocolate flavor, consider adding cocoa powder to the cake batter.
  • This cake can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
