Soft, moist Oreo Biscuit Cake with cream cheese frosting and decorated with Oreo bats, this simple Halloween cake will leave you drooling! Who doesn’t love an Oreo! Twist, lick and dunk, right? Well, if you love Oreos and cakes, then you are definitely going to write home about this one.
INGREDIENTS AND ALTERNATIVES :
- Oreos: Obviously! Just regular, original Oreo cookies.
- Oil: You can use any vegetable oil that does not give off a strong taste. I mostly use olive oil for all my cooking and baking and its worked well for me.
- Yogurt: I used Greek Yogurt for this recipe as I feel it gives a better batter consistency than regular yogurt/curd
- Other ingredients: Baking soda, baking powder, natural vanilla extract, water, granulated sugar and powdered sugar.
PREPARING OREO BATS! :
*For decorating the cake with ‘Oreo bats’, split open 3 Oreos (so you get two biscuits each) and apply some frosting on the cream part of the biscuit. Keep the non-cream part aside, we will use it in just a bit of time.
*Break couple of other Oreos into small triangular pieces to replicate pointy ears and stick on the frosting part of the biscuit.
*Break Oreos into wider pieces to replicate the wings of the bat and stick on the frosting part of the Oreo.
For the eyes, apply little bit of frosting on Wilton edible candy eyeballs* to make them stick on the Oreos.
Now take the 2nd biscuit of the Oreo and stick it back
*Powder the remaining Oreos in a grinder or by packing in a freezer bag and crushing using a rolling pin.
Apply the crumbs around the cake on the lower half of the cake as shown in the video below.
*Apply a thin spread of the Oreo powder on the top along the rim of the cake.
*Now you have in front of you, an awesome Oreo biscuit cake or you could even call it, a ‘bat cake'.
How do you make Oreo powder stick on the side of a cake?
You can grind Oreos in a food processor as this would be the easiest and most efficient way to get best results. The second option would be to pack the Oreos in a large freezer bag and run a rolling pin over it.
Depending on what consistency you want for the Oreos, you control at what point you need to stop crushing them.
Do you put whole Oreos or powdered Oreos in an Oreo biscuit cake?
You can put either. With whole Oreos or chunks of Oreos, you get to see the Oreos in the cake which gives it a good visual appeal and a small bite to the cake. With powdered Oreos, you should be mindful about the proportion of flour and other ingredients used.

- Carefully pour the batter into each pan and fill it up to halfway up the pan
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 F and bake for 30 to 40 minutes or till a skewer/toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the pan. Run a knife along the walls of the pans to release the cake from the walls of the cake pan. Let the cakes cool down on a wire rack

- Repeat the previous step for the next two layers.
- After applying frosting on the top layer, apply frosting on the sides.
- Smooth the frosting on the sides using a frosting/icing smoother* or icing spatula*
- For decorating the cake with 'Oreo bats', split open 3 Oreos (so you get two biscuits each) and apply some frosting on the cream part of the biscuit.
- Keep the non-cream part aside for using later.
