We often received requests on our website to make a red velvet cake with a different topping. That’s how we came up with a combination of red velvet and Oreo. It can hardly get any more delicious!”
How to make the red velvet Oreo cake
- Preheat the oven to 160 ˚C. For the batter, mix the eggs with the granulated sugar, vanilla sugar and salt in a deep bowl. Mix with a hand mixer for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sunflower oil, milk and red food colouring gel. Mix for another 1 minute. Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder and baking powder over the bowl. Mix for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until the batter is uniform.
- Finely chop the Oreo cookies. Stir the chopped cookies into the batter. Mix the baking soda with the vinegar in a small bowl, and stir this into the batter as well. Grease a baking tin and add the batter. Bake the cake for 35 to 40 minutes until done. Insert a skewer into the cake. The cake is done when the skewer comes out dry from the centre of the cake. Let the cake cool.
- For the topping, heat the whipping cream in a saucepan until just below boiling point. Break the white chocolate into pieces, add them to the pan and let stand for 1 minute. Add the crème fraîche and icing sugar. Stir well until the chocolate has melted.
- Pour the topping over the cooled cake, and place the cake in the refrigerator until the topping has set. This takes at least 2 hours.
- Pick the mint leaves from the sprigs and finely chop them. Cut the Oreo cookies and strawberries into quarters for the garnish. Garnish the cake with pieces of strawberry, Oreo cookies and mint.
