CAN I MAKE THIS AS A LAYER CAKE OR CUPCAKES?
Yes of course! This recipe can easily be adapted into cupcakes or a layer cake.
CUPCAKES
The recipe below will make approx 16 cupcakes, simply follow the recipe as guided, then use an ice cream scoop to evenly distribute the batter between the cupcake cases.
The cream cheese icing may be a little looser than required for piping so if you feel like it needs to be stiffer, add in a little more icing sugar until you have the consistency you’re happy with to pipe the icing on top.
LAYER CAKE
You will be able to get a 2-3 layer cake from this recipe if using 6 inch cake tins. To layer and assemble the cake you’ll need to level the cake sponges off and double the amount of cream cheese icing to ensure you have enough to fill and coat the entire cake. For the decoration leave 6-8 Oreo Biscuits aside so you can sit them on top of the cake at the end.
