Oreo Nutella Cake [Video]

Oreo Nutella Cake is full of chocolate chips, roasted hazelnuts, Oreo buttercream, and Nutella. It is moist, flavorful, and indulging, making it the perfect cake for any special occasion. 

We love Oreo desserts that are rich and flavorful, such as Instant Pot Oreo Cheesecake, Oreo Devil’s Food Cake Truffles, and Mint Chocolate Chip Oreo Cupcakes.

Oreo Nutella Cake

The base for this cake is an indulgent chocolate cake, rich and full of delicious cacao flavor. This show-stopping cake is moist, dense and very chocolaty.

I also added chocolate chips to the batter, to make the cake even more scrumptious. A little extra chocolate doesn’t hurt, right? I like how the chocolate chips add a slightly chewy texture to each bite. So perfect and sweet!

An Oreo buttercream thick layer is stuffed between two layers of chocolate cake, resembling a giant Oreo cookie in a cake form. The Oreo buttercream is nothing but amazing, I actually added 30 crushed Oreos to it, imagine how good it tastes.

To make the cake even more awesome, I covered it in Nutella buttercream. I have combined my love for Oreos and Nutella in one single cake. For the perfect finish, the cake has been topped with chopped roasted hazelnuts, for a little crunch, and also crushed Oreo cookies.

Tips to Make the Best Oreo Nutella Cake:

• Using high-quality chocolate in this recipe is key, as the chocolate flavor is front and center.
• Make sure the ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. Also, the oven should be pre-heated.
• Make sure the cake is fully cooled before frosting it.
• If the frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar 1/4 cup at a time.
• The firmness of the buttercream frosting depends on the amount of sugar to liquid ratio. If you want a firmer frosting, add more confectioner’s sugar. If you want a softer frosting, add more milk or cream. Just do it gradually.

What is Buttercream Icing?

Buttercream also knows as butter icing is a type of icing or filling used inside cakes and cupcakes, as a coating, and as decoration. It is very easy to make, by creaming butter with powdered sugar, although other fats can be used, such as margarine or lard.

How to freeze cake layers?

You can make the cake layers in advance and freeze them, thaw them when you are ready to decorate the cake. To freeze the unfrosted cake layers, follow these steps:

1. Bake the cake layer and cool each layer on a wire rack. Make sure the cake layers are fully cooled before freezing.
2. Wrap each cake layer in plastic wrap, preferably freezer wrap. After that wrap tightly in aluminum foil and place in a freezer ziplock bag (if it fits).
3. Write the date and cake type on the ziplock bag.
4. Lay the cake layers flat in the freezer.
5. Cakes can be frozen for up to 3 months.

CAN YOU FREEZE AN ALREADY FROSTED CAKE?

Yes, you can, but note, that once you start thawing the cake, sometimes you will get condensation on the cake, that happens when you are trying to speed up the thawing process.

1. Make sure the cake is refrigerated, so the cream won’t spread when you try to wrap the cake in plastic wrap.
2. Wrap the cake (if it fits in your freezer) or individual cake slices in plastic wrap, preferably freezer wrap. After that wrap tightly in aluminum foil and place in a freezer ziplock bag (if it fits).
3. Write the date and cake type on the ziplock bag.
4. Place cake in the freezer. Cakes can be frozen for up to 3 months.

HOW TO THAW A FROZEN CAKE?

1. Remove cake layers or cake them from the freezer the night before you want to use the cake layers or eat the cake.
2. Refrigerate without unwrapping for 24 hours. This way the cake will thaw slowly and without any condensation forming on the surface.
3. After 24 hours, take them out of the fridge and let the cake layers or cake come to room temperature while still wrapped.
