Baking is Love: oreo cookies & cream chocolate cake.

Have you tried my Oreo Cookies & Cream Cupcakes? The recipe has been a massive hit on the blog! and I feel soo happy to see many people have really enjoyed baking them.

I'm making another Oreo dessert today! -> "Oreo Cookies & Cream Chocolate Cake". I bet this is gonna be your new favourite one. The weather is still so hot these days, even up to 38 degree Celcius... and I can't offer you any better dessert than the NO-BAKE one.

"Sometimes it's just too hot just to turn on your oven." That one phrase which I completely agree. So yes, this cake is 100% no-bake and effortlessly easy to make too. Hmm, a pretty drool-worthy dessert!.

Things you may enjoy in this cake: a crunchy and buttery biscuit base, followed by the dark chocolate filling which is soo chocolatey, creamy, rich and sweet, and the pretty finishing touches with vanilla whipped cream, some Oreos and even Oreo crumbs if you fancy to add more!.

You all know already, I always love dark chocolate better than the milk one. I used it for baking more often too. Less sweet, less sugar and healthier. It's great to have a balance in flavour. The dark chocolate was combined with more sweetness from the Oreo topping and-decoration, aaand crunchiness from the base. Perfect match, pure deliciousness!.

Craving for this already??? :p This cake absolutely made my day! :))) So, why not to try yourself making this too? Here's one great recipe to follow!

Making a 18-20 cm cake (serves 6-8 people).

For the crust:

Ingredients:

125 gr unsalted butter, melted

200 gr digestive biscuits, crushed

Directions:

1). Stir the melted butter into the crushed biscuits. Mix them with a spatula until well combined. Tip into the tin/spring form and press down well to cover the base of the tin.
2). Chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the crust to set.

For the dark chocolate filling:

Ingredients:

300 ml heavy whipping cream

2 teaspoons powdered or icing sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

200 gr dark chocolate, melted

Directions:

1). Pour the cream into a large bowl, then add the icing sugar and vanilla extract.

2). Whisk until the mixture forms soft peaks (1-2 minutes), then gradually whisk in the melted chocolate until the mixture thickens (take care not to over-whip the batter!).

3). Spoon the mixture into the chilled biscuit case and spread out.

4). Cover and chill for at least 5 hours or better overnight, until the filling has completely set.

For toppings and decoration:

Ingredients:

vanilla whipped cream
Oreos
Oreo crumbs (optional)

Directions:

1). After the cake has completely set, remove from the fridge.
2). Spoon the whipped cream into a piping bag and swirl around the edge. Add some Oreos in between, sprinkle the Oreo crumbs over the swirled whipped cream and a little bit over the cake too, or you can decorate in any other way you fancy!.
3). Done and serve!.

Enjoy! Hope you like it as much or even more than I did! :)
