Use everyone’s favourite biscuit to make an Oreo Cake with Chocolate Mousse Frosting. Your children will love it and you will too. The Chocolate Mousse Frosting takes the cake to another level. Its rich taste will leave you enchanted. You will have to bake two cakes using the same ingredients as listed below for each of them. We will use these two cakes to sandwich the mousse and form layers and finally top it with ganache.

Serves: 10 to 12 Persons

Prep. & Assembly Time: 60 Mins.

  • Milk Cream – 2 tbsp.
  • Butter (soft) – 2 tbsp.
  • Baking Powder – ½ tsp.
  • Oil + Flour – a little for greasing

Step 1:     The ingredients listed will make one layer of the cake. We have to use the same quantity to make another layer.

Step 2:     Grease a 8 inch baking pan with oil and dust it with some flour. Line the base with parchment paper and keep aside.

Step 3:     Take the 30 oreo biscuits in a mixer jar and grind to a fine powder (see that there are no fine bits of biscuits). Transfer to a bowl.
