Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Brush a 15 cup bundt pan with butter and dust with flour. You can also just spray with nonstick baking spray like Baker's Joy. Set aside.
Add butter, oil, and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream together for 5 minutes on medium speed. Reduce speed to medium low and begin adding eggs one a time, ensuring each add is fully incorporated prior to adding the next. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and continue to mix for another 10-15 seconds, until smooth, then add in the vanilla extract and mix until just combined, about 10 seconds. 1 3/4 cups Unsalted Butter2 tbsp Vegetable Oil3 cups Granulated Sugar6 large Eggs1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients - cake flour, kosher salt, and baking powder. Add half of the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined, about 15 seconds, then pour in the heavy cream. Mix together for about 15 seconds, then scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the remaining flour mixture and mix until combined, about 15-20 seconds. 3 1/4 cups Cake Flour1 tsp Kosher Salt 1 tsp Baking Powder1 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
Remove 2 cups of batter from the bowl and add to a separate bowl. Add in the black cocoa powder and hot coffee. Mix until combined. 1/4 cup Black Cocoa Powder3 tbsp Hot Coffee
To the bowl of the stand mixer, fold in the crushed oreos. 16 Oreos
Alternate adding both batters to the prepared bundt pan - scoop in a layer of the oreo cake batter, then scoop in the black cocoa cake batter - until it's all used up. Use a wooden skewer or butter knife to swirl the batter around. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15-25 minutes, until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out with just a few crumbs.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn over onto a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cake is cooling, make the cream cheese glaze. Add softened cream cheese to a large bowl. Use an electric hand mixer to beat the cream cheese until smooth, about 30 seconds, then add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Continue to mix until well incorporated. Pour in the melted butter and milk and a pinch of salt. Mix until combined (add more milk for a thinner consistency). 4 oz Cream Cheese2 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar1 tsp Vanilla Extract2 tbsp Unsalted Butter3-4 tbsp Whole MilkPinch Kosher Salt
Pour the glaze on top of the cooled cake and top with crushed oreo cookies.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients—eggs, butter, cream cheese, and heavy cream blend better at room temp and create a smoother batter. This ensures that the cake has a nice even texture.
Don't overmix your batter—mix until just combined to keep the cake tender and fluffy.
Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing and slice. This allows for the glaze to not melt off the cake the flavor actually improves as it rests.
When prepping the bundt pan, spray generously with nonstick baking spray or butter and flour to ensure that the cake doesn't stick.
