Description

A miniature vanilla sponge cake layered with a velvety Oreo-infused buttercream, perfect for an intimate celebration or a thoughtful gift. This recipe focuses on achieving a light, airy crumb and a smooth, professional finish that melts in your mouth.


Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 132g granulated sugar
  • 152g all-purpose flour
  • Liquid vanilla
  • 250g buttercream preparation
  • 250g water
  • 300g pommade butter
  • Oreo flavoring


Instructions

  1. Whisk the eggs and sugar for 8 to 10 minutes until the mixture is thick, pale, and tripled in volume, adding vanilla at the end.
  2. Carefully sift the flour over the egg mixture and fold it in gently using a spatula until just combined.
  3. Pour the batter into prepared tins and bake until golden and the center springs back, then cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. Whisk the buttercream preparation with water until smooth, then gradually beat in the soft pommade butter and Oreo flavoring until glossy.
  5. Slice the cakes into layers, frost with Oreo buttercream, apply a crumb coat, chill for 30 minutes, and finish with a final layer of frosting.

Notes

To ensure a moist sponge, consider lightly brushing each layer with a simple syrup before frosting. It is vital that your butter is soft but not melted to achieve a silk-like buttercream consistency without any lumps.
