Ever since I have started blogging, I have been getting requests to do an egg less recipe. I finally have one for all you lovely readers- Eggless Oreo Cake. Oreo cookies have been taking the food industry by a storm and everyone is so into Oreo shakes, Oreo ice-creams, Oreo ice-cream cakes, and what not. And in the middle of all this, how can I not come up with an Oreo recipe of my own? This eggless Oreo cake is all you need on a day when your sweet tooth is crying out loud for all things sweet!
Ingredients of this Eggless Oreo Cake
This eggless Oreo cake uses greek yogurt or hung curd instead of eggs. Yogurt renders this cake a moist and chocolaty flavour and also helps in the structure. It is know that eggs help in rising a cake but if you use yogurt in the right manner, it is equally helpful in giving cakes a good risen structure.
This eggless Oreo cake has two layers of ganache on the top- dark chocolate and white chocolate ganache. I use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate because we are also using white chocolate and the cake will end up being uncontrollably sweet and heavy if we use milk and white chocolate ganache. The bitter-sweet taste of the dark chocolate, on the other hand, will help the cake to have uniform and balanced sweetness. The white chocolate ganache has swirls of dark chocolate, sprinkles and mini Oreos and you know a cake is divine when it has dark chocolate, white chocolate and Oreos!
Tips to get the best Eggless Oreo Cake ever
- If you don’t have butter milk, substitute it with a mixture of 1/2 cup milk and 1 tsp white vinegar. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes before you add it to the batter.
- For the ganache, I used fresh cream by Amul which is easily available in all grocery shops across India.

There is noticeably a bundle to know about this. I assume you made certain nice points in features also.
Hey Shivesh, I tried this recipe of yours with a twist on the icing part.. turned out to be superb. tastes so yumm. I am totally in love with it.
just a query that the Oreo I had mix with the batter melted while baking… Is it meant to be like that or i did any mistake… but trust me the taste was outstanding…. I coated the cake with the normal chocolate and cream icing and topped it with crushes Oreo.
