Ingredients

  • 2 cups + 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter room temp
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large egg whites room temp
  • ¾ cup whole milk room temp
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream room temp
  • 14 Oreos rough chopped

For the frosting:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter room temp
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 10 Oreos finely chopped, divided

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray, set aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda, set aside.
  • In the body of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer, cream the butter with the sugar for 2 minutes until light and fluffy, scrape down the sides as needed.
  • Add the egg whites into the mixer in three batches, mixing them in fully before the next addition.
  • Slowly stir in the milk and vanilla until smooth.
  • Add half of the flour mixture and mix in until combined.
  • Mix in half of the sour cream until combined. Repeat with the remaining flour and sour cream.
  • Scrape down the sides and stir in the chopped Oreos.
  • Pour the batter into the baking dish and smooth out the top.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 35-42 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While the cake is cooling, make the frosting by placing the butter into a large bowl with an electric hand mixer and beat until smooth.

Notes

  1. Make sure that you are using room temperature ingredients where called for.
  2. You can substitute the sour cream for plain greek yogurt.
  3. You can make this in 2 9-inch round pans if desired to make a layer cake.
  4. If you want less Oreo flavor, add them to either just the cake or the frosting.
  5. This can be frozen, see above on how to do that.
  6. Other frostings can be used, see above on some ideas.
  7. Make sure that your cake is completely cool before frosting, we don't want that frosting to melt off.
  8. Add in your egg whites one at a time, they combine better this way.
