Ingredients for the cake – wet ingredients:

For the oreo buttercream:

To crush them I have used several methods, put them little by little in the vegetable chopper, put them in the blender, break them by hand... But the best way is to put it on a large cutting board and cut them with a large knife, for me, it is the best way
• Vanilla aroma: add some vanilla aroma drops

How to make this Vegan Oreo Cake recipe

Chocolate cake

First preheat the oven to 190º.

Make the cake. It's as easy as mixing all the wet ingredients for the cake with a spatula and then adding the dry ingredients. Prepare the mold with a baking paper, and grease it with any oil you have on hand. When you have all the ingredients for the cake mixed, put it into the mold.

Bake for about 25 minutes. You can check if it is done by poking a stick into the cake, when the stick comes out without any liquid dough you can take the cake out of the oven. Let it cool well, ideally make it the day before so that when you put the oreo buttercream on top it doesn't melt.

Oreo buttercream:

The next step is to prepare the oreo buttercream. Add the margarine and one cup of powdered sugar and beat with an electric mixer. Add the other two cups of icing sugar one at a time, beating between each cup. When everything is mixed, add a few drops of vanilla aroma and then the crushed oreos. Incorporate the crushed oreos with a spatula.

Put the oreo buttercream on top and on the sides of the cold cake. If you can, let it cool for an hour before eating it so that the buttercream doesn't melt.

Decorate the cake

You can decorate the cake with some oreo cookies on top if you like to
