Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

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

Dry Ingredients

  • 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 sticking and ensure easy removal of the cake.
  2. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream, mixing until just combined to maintain a tender texture. Finally, gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies and mini chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  3. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt or loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even bake. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes (use 50-60 minutes if using a loaf pan), or 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, ensuring it sets perfectly.
  4. Serve: Once the cake has cooled, slice it and serve. This cake is delicious on its own or can be elevated with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming with sugar.
  • Do not overmix the batter after adding the dry ingredients to keep the cake moist and tender.
  • Use a toothpick or cake tester to check for doneness; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Mini chocolate chips are optional but add extra chocolate flavor and texture.
  • Let the cake cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
  • You can store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
