Oreo Cake

For Rylan's birthday this year he wanted an Oreo cake so I started the hunt for a good recipe, and I ended up finding this fantastic recipe on Pinterest. Honestly this is the best frosting ever....ever! I am a huge Oreo fan and seriously I could make this frosting and skip the cake, it's so good. When I try it again I may try it on cupcakes or just a plain white or even a chocolate cake.  The Oreo cake is good but, combined with the frosting it is really rich. Oreo frosting....I may have to go and make it now.

Oreo Cake:

1 box white cake mix

15 Oreos, crushed 

Cake: Prepare cake according to package directions, stirring in the crushed Oreos to the batter before dividing between prepared pans. Bake as directed on box. Remove cake layers from oven and allow to cool completely on cooling rack.

Oreo Frosting:                                                                                                                                                    

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1 (16 oz) box powdered sugar
1 (8 oz) container Cool whip, room temperature
15 Oreos, crushed
¼ tsp. vanilla extract

Frosting: In mixer, cream the cream cheese and sugar. Add vanilla, mix well, and stir in Cool whip. Mix well. Fold in crushed Oreos until well blended & frost cooled cake. Refrigerate cake until ready to serve and refrigerate any leftovers.

Strawberry Daiquiri Cake

I just found this recipe online, I was looking for something to spice up a strawberry cake mix since I already had one in cupboard. This was really easy, I actually made it in two round pans instead of a 13x9 and it is a little too ooey gooey with all the frosting and strawberries on it.  I think fresh strawberries would be fantastic in this recipe. And doesn't sweetened condensed milk make everything taste better? I know I am a fan.

Strawberry Daiquiri Cake

1 box strawberry cake mix
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (8 oz.) container of Cool Whip
1 can frozen strawberry daiquiri mix, thawed
1 small container of frozen strawberries, thawed

Bake cake according to the box. Let cool 10 minutes. Turn cake out onto a wire rack and allow to cool completely.

Split cake in half with dental floss. Place the strawberries on bottom half then place top cake over the strawberries.

Stir the sweetened condensed milk and daiquiri mix together and then fold in the Cool Whip. A drop of red food coloring may be added, if desired.

Spread cool whip frosting on and refrigerate.

Garnish with additional strawberries.

Happy Birthday Grandma Shirley, hope you enjoy your cake!
