Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Oreo cookies
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Low-fat yogurt
- 0.5 cup Skim milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Applesauce
- 4 ounces Low-fat cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Confectioners' sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and lightly spray the sides with non-stick cooking spray.
Separate the Oreo cookies. Set aside the cream filling and crush the cookies into fine crumbs in a food processor.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until well combined and creamy.
Add the low-fat yogurt, skim milk, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, and mix until smooth.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
Gently fold the crushed Oreo crumbs and applesauce into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat together the low-fat cream cheese, reserved Oreo cream filling, and confectioners' sugar until smooth and creamy.
Once the cake is done, remove from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
Spread the cream cheese frosting over the cooled cake.
Garnish with additional Oreo crumbs if desired and serve.
