My boyfriend’s sister had a baby two weeks ago. This weekend, we went to the baby shower to see her adorable little daughter. As always, I wanted to prepare a special treat, so I started to think about what everyone would love to eat.

I’ve been craving oreo cookies the last days. I DREAMED that I was making cake pops two days ago. This was a sign, no doubt. So I went to the supermarket and bought those mini oreos. Cute. But not as cute as the baby, of course. ;)

Then I prepared my cake, combined it with frosting and hid the oreos inside the dough.

Then I covered the truffles in white chocolate. Mhhhhh.

Oreo Stuffed Cake Truffles
(makes about 40 truffles)

cake:

125 g (1 sticks) butter, room temperature
100g (½ cup) sugar
2 eggs
150 g (1 ¼ cups) all purpose flour
½ tsp baking powder
1 pinch salt

frosting:

100g (3,5 oz) cream cheese
30 g (1 oz) butter
40 g (3/8 cup) powdered sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract

40 mini oreo cookies

icing:

400 g (14 oz) white chocolate
3 normal sized oreos, crushed

Whisk together the flour baking powder and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Set aside. Preheat oven to
180° C (350° F).

Cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl, until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Add one egg at a time and stir until fully incorporated. Now add the dry ingredients and stir until the dough is smooth.

Transfer the mixture into an oiled pan – I always use my round 26 cm (10 inch) pan but a 22 cm x 12 cm (9´´ x 5´´) pan or a round 22 cm (9´´) pan works as well – and bake about 25 minutes until a toothpicker comes out clean.

Let the cake cool completely, then remove the hard edges. Now crumble the cake into a large bowl. This you can do easily with the help of a grater.

Prepare the frosting. For this, place the butter into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 25 seconds. Add the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract and stir until the frosting is smooth.

Combine the crumbles and the frosting and stir until you get a dough-like mixture by using your hands. Make litte cake balls with cookies inside. Like that:

Place them in the freezer for about 20 minutes or in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Melt the chocolate and cover the truffles with the help of two forks. Sprinkle crushed oreos on top.

Your guests will love this surprising moment when they find the oreo inside :).
