- For the Oreo Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugar:
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, fully incorporating after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine with Dry Ingredients:
- Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in Oreos:
- Gently fold in the chopped Oreo cookies.
- Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool:
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare Oreo Glaze:
- In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Stir in the crushed Oreo cookies.
- Glaze the Cake:
- Once the cake is cool, pour the Oreo glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.
- Serve:
- Slice and serve the Oreo Loaf Cake once the glaze has set. Enjoy with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee for a delightful treat.
