Instructions
Sponge Cake
- Preheat Oven to 350F and grease a 13x9 Pan.
- In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment beat your butter, peanut butter and sugar for 5 mins until smooth. Scrape down the sides and bottom of your bowl as needed.
- Add your eggs one by one allowing each egg to incorporate before adding the next one. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and do one final beat to make sure the eggs and butter are incorporated well.
- In a separate bowl sift your flour, baking powder and salt.
- With your mixer on med add in a 5 step addition the dry ingredients and milk to the batter starting with the flour and ending with flour. Dry ingredients, milk, dry ingredients, milk and dry ingredients. Scrape the sides and bottom of your bowl and give a final beat until incorporated well but do not over mix.
- Srape the cream out of 6 oreos and leave the cream on 6. Give them a good crush. We dont want big pieces. Add your crushed oreos to the batter giving it a gentle stir do not over mix.
- Bake for 25-35 mins or until a toothpick comes out clean it will be a beautiful light color.
- Allow cake to cool.
Milk Blend
- In a separate bowl add all your milks and vanilla and give a good stir until all the condensed milk is dissolved and everything is incorporated well. When your cake cooled poke holes around your cake with a fork and add 3/4 of the milk in a couple of additions until it has soaked all the milk blend. Save the rest on a container to pour more when you serve yourself a slice of cake. Best way! That way the cake is not over soaked and doesnt break apart when you cut into it!
- IF MAKING CAKE JARS: I used 6oz jars in the picture but depending on the size you use the amount you will get. I got 10 jars.
- Cut your cake into cube sizes and divide evenly between all the jars. Soak with milk about 3/4 of the way. You may need to do two additions of milk as the first one will soak some of the milk. Then you add to keep about 3/4 of the way filled.
Whipped Cream
- In a stand mixer or handheld with a whisk attachment add your whipping cream, sugar and vanilla start at low speed until the mixture starts thickening. Gradually increase your speed to high as your mixture thickens until you have stiff peaks.Frost your cake to your liking I like to use a 1M Wilton Tip to go around the top but a simple frost topped with more crushed oreos will look beautiful!
- If making jars pipe going up on your jars using a 1M tip!
