Given that Oreos are naturally vegan, and delicious, there are a perfect candidate to make into cakes!

Buttercream made with stork and ground Oreos!
RECIPE
CAKE
- 200 g Self raising flour.
- 200 g Light brown sugar.
- 15g Black cocoa.
- 15g Regular cocoa.
- 225 ml Chocolate soy milk (You can use 225 regular soy/almond milk and 10g extra cocoa).
- 1tsp baking powder.
- 1 tsp Vanilla.
- 100g Flora vegan butter.
- 1 tbsp Cider/Rice vinegar.
Topping
- 150g Flora vegan butter / Stork baking block.
- 300g Icing sugar.
- 100g ground Oreos.
- 30 Drops of Foodie vanilla essence.
METHOD
Cake
- Baking temperature is gonna be trial and error for your own oven as all are a little different but for mine, I pre heat the oven to 170c for my fan assisted oven.
- In a large bowl, whisk together your flour, cocoa baking powder and sugar.
- Melt your vegan butter/stork and make sure there are no lumps.
- Pour your milk, vanilla, butter and vinegar in and whisk till smooth!
- Split the mix evenly between 12 cupcake cases.
- I find 2 level scoops of a “small” ice cream scoop does the trick for me.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until baked. The vegan ones take a little longer than traditional dairy cakes.
- You can do it by feel, as you can feel if it’s sufficiently spongy but you can’t go wrong with the tried and tested skewer method by poking a cake to the middle with a skewer and see if it comes out clean.
- Once baked, leave to cool fully.
Topping
- Blitz a sleeve of Oreos in a blender until a fine powder.
- In a large bowl, beat your plant butter / stork with the vanilla till smooth.
- Sieve in the icing sugar, add 100g of the Oreo and combine.
- Add in the icing sugar and beat again until fully combined.
- If too thick, add a little plant cream / plant milk until pipeable.
Construction
- Not a great deal to the construction of these ones ones so…….
- Pipe the buttercream on to the cakes.
- Pop an Oreo on top!
