Step-by-Step Instructions

Top Tips for Perfecting Oreo Honeybun Cake with Cinnamon Cookies
- Substitutions: If you’re vegan, you can replace eggs with flaxseed meal (1 tablespoon of flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water per egg) to maintain the moisture in the cake.
- Serving Suggestions: Drizzling some melted chocolate or serving with vanilla ice cream can elevate the cake to the next level.
- Avoiding Mistakes: Be cautious not to overmix the batter after folding in the Oreos, as this can lead to a denser cake.
Storing and Reheating Tips
Once you’ve indulged in this mouthwatering treat, you may want to store leftovers. Keep any remaining cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. If you’d like to freeze it, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and then foil, placing them in the freezer for up to 2 months.
To reheat, simply place a slice in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds. Enjoy the comforting taste of freshly baked Oreo Honeybun Cake with Cinnamon Cookies even on busy days!
