  • teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • sticks butter room temperature, 6oz/180g
  • 1 cup sugar 8 oz/225g
  • 3 eggs beaten
  • teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup plain yogurt 10oz/282g
  • ¼ cup chocolate melted, 1.5oz/43g

OREO Cream Cheese Frosting

  • cups powdered sugar sifted, 1 lb 4 oz/574g
  • 2 cups cream cheese at room temperature, 16oz/454g
  • ½ cup butter at room temperature, 4oz/115g
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ pack oreos plus extra for the top

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180oC). Grease 3 (6-inch) round cake pans or springform pans and line the bottoms with a round piece of parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Gently mix using a spoon.
  • In a large mixing bowl (or on a stand mixer) combine the butter and sugar. Beat using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  • Add in the eggs and vanilla and beat it on high speed. (high speed will stop this mix from separating)
  • Add in the yogurt and melted chocolate and mix in swiftly.
  • By hand, using a spatula or large spoon add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and fold in the mixture until no flour remains.
  • Evenly divide the batter between the 3 pans.
  • Bake for roughly 22-25 minutes. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Once the cake is done baking, allow them to cool completely in the pan loosely covered with foil. Once cool, remove from the tin.
  • To prepare the frosting: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium-high speed cream cheese and butter until smooth. Then slowly add in the powdered sugar one spoonful at a time. it is smooth and creamy (do not overbeat). Stir in the vanilla and Oreo cookie crumbs. Chill until needed
  • Once cakes are cool, using a serrated night shave off any lumps or bumps on top of the cake that make them uneven.
  • Place the first layer of cake on cake plate. Spread a spoonful of frosting on top in an even layer. Continue this step with the next two layers.
  • Crumb Layer: Once the cake is stacked, spread a big spoonful of frosting on top and work it down and around the sides of the cake. Cover as much as you can with a thin layer of frosting and then pop it in the fridge to chill for a minimum of 30 minutes.
  • Once chilled, follow with more frosting creating the final layer. Try and spread your frosting as evenly as possible. Pipe some rossetes on top and scatter over more cookie crumbs.
  • Enjoy straight away or keep refrigerated and eat within 3 days.
