Best Milk & Oreos Cake Recipe - How To Make Milk & Oreos Cake

Step 1Preheat oven to 350°. Line three 8” cake pans with parchment and grease with cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In another large bowl, whisk together sugars, buttermilk, coffee, and oil. Add eggs and whisk until incorporated. Add dry ingredients to wet and whisk until combined.

Step 2Divide batter evenly between prepared pans and bake until a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean, 30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Step 3In a large bowl, beat butter and marshmallow fluff until smooth. Add about half of the powdered sugar and beat until combined. Add remaining powdered sugar and beat until no lumps remain. Add heavy cream, vanilla, and a pinch of salt and beat until combined. Add more heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, as necessary, to reach desired consistency.

Step 4Using a serrated knife, level tops of cakes. Place one cake on a platter or cake stand. Top with about 1 cup buttercream and smooth into an even layer and top with crushed Oreos. Top with second cake, frost with another cup of buttercream and Oreos, then top with final cake and frost with one more cup buttercream. Smooth any excess frosting along sides of cake and create a thin layer of frosting, using more frosting to help cover sides as needed to create a crumb coat. Refrigerate until hardened, about 1 hour.

Step 5Meanwhile, make milk bowl: Blow up balloon, keeping it a smaller size. Lightly grease with cooking spray. In a microwave safe bowl, melt white chocolate in 30 second intervals until smooth. With the tied side down, spoon a small amount of melted chocolate onto balloon, smoothing in a circle. Add more chocolate until desired size is reached. Place balloon, chocolate side up, into a small bowl and refrigerate until hardened, about 30 minutes.

Step 6Use remaining frosting to frost sides and top of cake with a thick layer of frosting. Use a bench scraper to smooth sides and top, as desired. Sprinkle Oreo crumbs around the edge on top of the cake. Decorate sides of cake with Oreos, as desired.

Step 7Carefully cut a small hole in balloon near the tie and let the balloon deflate. Peel the balloon away from the chocolate carefully. Place chocolate on top of cake to create a bowl of "splashing milk." Fill with mini Oreos, if desired.
