KitKat Oreo Cake
It’s W’s birthday this weekend. 8! How could that be? As always, we’re out in Tofino for the actual day, but this year he wanted to have a few friends over before we left the city. I searched around for cool birthday party locations, thinking he’d want to go to the art studio or the movies or laser tag or something – as older kids tend to want to do – but he asked for a party at home, with a few games to play, and a chocolate cake. Sniff.
And so we played a game my mom invented for us as kids – tape two paper bags at the end of the dining room table, and get the kids to blow through a straw to race cotton balls from one end to the other, to the paper bag goal. My Dad had brought over the box from their new barbecue, and it provided over an hour of entertainment as kids and dogs folded themselves in and begged the bigger kids to roll the box around the yard. Who needs Chuck E. Cheese? Then we made superhero masks.
We hung doughnuts from strings on the apple and lilac trees in the back yard, a game my friend Jan sets up every Thanksgiving for her kids and the visiting cousins. The goal: for kids to hold their hands behind their backs and try to eat the doughnut. It was a total hit. I’m certain it would be equally hilarious with grownups. Perhaps paired with sangria. Lou managed to get two before we noticed.
As for the food, W requested a classic 8 year old boy birthday menu of hot dogs, ketchup chips, chocolate cake and a sundae bar. (This is the same thing I did as a kid – my parents made everything from scratch, and I begged for the packaged stuff we rarely got. I remember asking for Skippy peanut butter-instead of the all-natural stuff my dad would buy-and Wonder Bread one year for my birthday.)
We added bowls of berries and slices of watermelon, so that it wasn’t exclusively stuff with long ingredient lists. The night before, he amended his chocolate cake request, making it a KitKat and Oreo cake. (Hey, at least we didn’t have to make another chocolate dinosaur.) I had, luckily, seen a KitKat cake over at Jan’s, and so rather than fill it with M&Ms I filled it with mini Oreos. Easy.
And as a (huge) bonus, you can slather that frosting on the without worrying about it getting crumby or looking perfect – in the end it will just act as delicious glue to hold the KitKats in place. And if you don’t have enough frosting, which can be disastrous in most layer cake situations, the top could conceivably be naked and you’d never know.
Obviously any layer cake would do the trick here – it could be anything inside, cake and frosting-wise, but W requested chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. That’s my boy. You’ll need 10 KitKats, but you may find yourself with one extra chocolate finger – a little reward for all your hard work.
Double Chocolate KitKat Oreo Cake
AuthorJuliePreheat the oven to 350F and butter two 8" or 9" round cake pans.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, instant coffee, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the milk, oil, eggs and vanilla and whisk or beat until well blended; gently whisk or beat in the boiling water.
Divide the batter between the pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the tops are springy to the touch. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the frosting, beat the butter and cocoa until smooth; gradually beat in the icing sugar and milk, adding a little extra milk if needed to achieve a fluffy, spreadable consistency. Spread on top of one layer, then place the second layer on top and spread the entire outside of the cake with frosting. Break the KitKats in half and place in twos around the entire outside of the cake. Fill the top with mini Oreos or other candies.

Wow! That’s one cool cake. With one teenager left at home, and the grandchildren starting to need cakes, I will have to tuck this idea in the files. How could it not be a hit?
Fabulous Cake!!! I want one 🙂
What a lucky guy~ this looks like such a fun birthday party!
Whoa, what a great birthday party for W. Wish that I had had such an inventive Mom. The best I can remember (at 10) is waxed paper wrapped coins baked into the cake…I stuffed in 3 pieces and got nothing$…my “friends” walked away with the loot! Afterwards, I was kinda queasy.
Nice! Happy birthday to your little one! Good cake choice, young man! 🙂
Interesting…I’ve seen a variation of this cake (link attached) made with marzipan piggies to look like pigs bathing in mud. This version looks much easier (and tastier!). http://therufffarm.wordpress.com/2013/02/21/5042/
Happy Birthday to W! The cake looks awesome!!
How adorable that he wanted such a traditional, fun birthday party! Love the cake. That would be good for kids of any age!
So 8 years old! Amazing, It was just over 8 years ago then that I sent you an innocent email to thank you for One Smart Cookie and I got the loveliest response from you saying you were very pregnant and my email caught you at just the right time! Wow, how time flies!
Have a fantastic holiday!

Umm, this cake looks incredible! I have a similar cake pinned – it has the kitkats all around it, but m&ms in the center instead of oreos. Yours looks like it turned out great!
How did I miss this post??? That cake looks like it sprung right from an 8 year old’s dreams. Well done, Mom. 😉

This KitKat Oreo cake looks seriously indulgent! The combination of chocolate layers and crushed cookies is such a fun dessert idea, especially for celebrations. Recipes like this remind me how creativity in the kitchen can feel a bit like discovering surprises in Slots, you never know what delicious result you’ll get when everything comes together.
