How to Make Gluten Free Oreo Cake
You’re going to love how simple this dessert recipe is to make! And once you try it, you’ll want to whip up this yummy sweet treat over and over again.
The first step is to prepare the dry ingredients. Whisk together the gluten free baking flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Once the ingredients are well mixed, set the bowl aside.
In the bowl of your stand mixer, add the softened butter and sugar. Using the paddle attachment, beat the two ingredients together until they’re light and fluffy.
After that, add the egg whites and vanilla and beat to combine. The mixture will be smooth and creamy at this point.
Add half the milk to the bowl, along with half the dry ingredient mixture. Beat to combine the ingredients, then add the remaining milk and flour mixture to the bowl and beat until mixed.
Mix in half the crushed gluten free Oreos with a wooden spoon until the cookie pieces are well dispersed around the bowl.
Transfer the cake batter to a 9×13 cake pan and bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. You’ll know the cake is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
When the cake is finished baking, place the pan on a cooling rack to cool completely.
How to Make Oreo Buttercream
Now that your cake is finished baking, you can start preparing the icing to spread on the top. While the cake is cooling follow these instructions to make gluten free Oreo buttercream.
In a large bowl, add the butter and vanilla extract, and beat until it is light and creamy.
Pour half the powdered sugar into the bowl and one tablespoon milk. Beat until smooth, then add the remaining powdered sugar and an additional tablespoon milk. You can add more milk to the icing to thin it, as needed.
To keep the frosting from getting lumpy, it’s a good idea to sift the powdered sugar before adding it to the bowl.
Once your cake is cooled completely, spread the prepared butter cream frosting over the top of the cake. Sprinkle the remaining gluten free cookie pieces over the top of the cake and lightly press them into place. After that, you can slice your cake and enjoy!
