i went through an oreo phase a couple months ago which turned out to be delicious! as they were on hand, i decided to plop them into the middle of this birthday girl's treats. while this is nothing new to the Pinterest world it was a first for me and definitely not the last. putting a little batter into the case first will allow the sponge to bake around the Oreo and be involved in the first bite to 'reveal' the surprise inside. don't be put off by the three bowl process, it isn't more work and just keeps it organised when you're ready to assemble.
after my trial run i decided to stuff them with oreos and peanut butter cups (or use the pb ball method below!) but make sure if you do this you mark the cases in some way so as to frost them properly!
the recipe
1 stick/113g unsalted butter
1c/200g sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1c buttermilk
1/2c sour cream
1 3/4c/224g flour
1c cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
the temperature 350F/ 180C
the preparation
bowl 1: cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. add each egg, one at a time, and then the vanilla. mix well.
bowl 2: mix together the buttermilk and sour cream.
bowl 3: sift flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt.
add the buttermilk mixture and flour mixture alternatively in thirds, beginning with buttermilk and ending with flour. mix until completely combined.
fill cups and bake for about 20 minutes.
*if filling the cakes with an Oreo: cover the bottom of the liner with a small amount of batter first. if filling with PB, add half of the batter then a small spoonful of filling and top again with batter.
peanut butter filling- the recipe calls for the following but I think, and cake testers have reported, that it takes away the PB flavor so next time ill just add a spoonful straight from the jar!
1/4c smooth pb
icing sugar
butter
