FAQs

Yes, but it adds a creamy finish. You can substitute with ice cream or frosting.

Sweet salted butter works best, but unsalted butter can be used with a pinch of salt.

Absolutely! Extra crushed Oreos on top before serving enhance the flavor.

6. How do I know when the cake is done?

The top should be set and slightly crispy, and the cake should not be overly jiggly.

Yes, homemade whipped cream works great for a fresher taste.

8. Can I add nuts to this recipe?

Yes, chopped walnuts or pecans would add a nice crunch.

9. Is this cake overly sweet?

It is rich and sweet, but balancing it with unsweetened whipped cream or black coffee can help.
