Chocolate Cake
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 TBSP Cornstarch
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably dutch process)
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1/4 tsp Baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Oil (canola or vegetable)
- 1 cup White granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup Sour cream (room temperature or Greek yogurt)
- 1/2 cup Buttermilk (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup Hot water
Oreo Cheesecake
- 16 oz Cream cheese (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup White granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup Sour cream (room temperature or Greek yogurt)
- 1/4 cup Heavy cream (room temperature)
- 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
- 2 Large eggs (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup Oreo pieces (about 4 whole Oreos)
- 1/4 cup Oreo crumbs (about 2 whole Oreos)
Oreo Whipped Cream
- 1 cup Heavy cream (cold)
- 1/4 cup Powdered sugar (sifted)
- 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
- 2 oz Cream cheese (room temperature)
- 1 TBSP Heavy cream
- 1/4 cup Oreo crumbs (about 2 whole Oreos)
- Prepare the Pan and Oven: Preheat your oven to 350℉. Spray a 9-inch springform pan thoroughly with nonstick baking spray, then line the bottom with a parchment paper circle and spray again. Set the pan aside. Begin heating the hot water on the stove on high heat.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures an even distribution and smooth texture in your cake batter.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, sour cream, and buttermilk until well combined.
- Add Hot Water: Slowly incorporate the hot water into the wet ingredients while mixing. This step helps to bloom the cocoa powder and intensify the chocolate flavor.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients while whisking gently. Mix until just combined and no lumps remain, but don’t overmix.
- Prepare Oreo Crumbs and Pieces: Using a food processor, pulse Oreos to create small crumbs and chunks as specified for the cheesecake filling.
- Beat Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar together on high speed for 2 minutes until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add Sour Cream, Heavy Cream, and Vanilla: Mix these into the cream cheese mixture on medium speed until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed just until combined to avoid overbeating and cracking during baking.
- Fold in Oreos: Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the prepared Oreo crumbs and pieces into the cheesecake batter.
- Layer Batters in Pan: Pour one-third of the chocolate cake batter into the prepared pan. Dot one-third of the cheesecake batter over the cake batter in small dollops. Repeat layering two more times, finishing with the cake batter evenly spread on top using an offset spatula.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes. The cheesecake is done when a toothpick inserted comes out with moist cheesecake crumbs but no raw batter. The top may crack slightly; this is normal and it will sink a bit upon cooling.
- Cool and Chill: Place the cake on a wire rack while still in the pan and cool completely. Cover with foil and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to set fully.
- Prepare Oreo Whipped Cream: Using a mixer with a metal bowl and whisk attachment, beat the cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla on high speed until it begins to thicken.
- Beat Cream Cheese and Heavy Cream: In a separate bowl, using a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese and heavy cream for 1 minute until creamy. Add this mixture to the whipped cream and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
- Fold in Oreo Crumbs: Gently fold in the remaining Oreo crumbs into the whipped cream for added texture and flavor.
- Frost the Cake: Remove the cake from the pan and peel off the parchment from the bottom. Spread about 3/4 cup of the Oreo whipped cream evenly over the top of the cake.
- Decorate: Using a piping bag fitted with a large French star tip, pipe dollops of whipped cream around the edges. Garnish with halved Oreos and mini chocolate chips for a decorative finish.
Notes
- Make sure all dairy ingredients like eggs, cream cheese, sour cream, and buttermilk are at room temperature to ensure a smooth batter and prevent curdling.
- Do not overmix the cheesecake batter once you add eggs to prevent cracking during baking.
- If you don’t have a food processor, carefully chop Oreos by hand for the crumbs and pieces.
- Chilling the cake overnight is essential for the cheesecake to set properly and for easier slicing.
- Use an offset spatula for even spreading of batters and frosting, ensuring professional-looking layers.
