Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans. This will ensure an easy release from the pan after baking.
-
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This dry mixture is essential for giving your cake the right structure and lift.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This tremendous step adds air into the batter, which helps your cake rise beautifully.
-
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Follow with the vanilla extract and sour cream, which will add moisture and flavor to your base.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Do not over-mix, as this could lead to a dense cake.
-
Stir in the crushed Oreo cookies. This will provide great texture and flavor in the cake, making it a true delight.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The wonderful aroma filling your kitchen will indicate a tremendous outcome.
-
Once baked, let cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. This ensures the layers maintain their shape and do not become overly moist.
-
To prepare the frosting, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Then add the heavy whipping cream and continue to beat until thick and spreadable.
-
Assemble your cake by layering the cooled cakes with cream cheese frosting in between each layer. This step is crucial for achieving a delicious balance between cake and filling.
-
Drizzle the top of the assembled cake with chocolate ganache and generously sprinkle with churro toppings. The combination of the ganache and the crunchy churro elements adds magnificent richness.
-
Chill the cake before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. This will enhance the creamy cheesecake and chocolate layers, making each bite more satisfying.
