Instructions
Making the Biscuit
Step #1: Preheat the oven and spray and parchment line three round cake pans.
Step #2: In a separate bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil with a mixer at the highest speed.
Step #3: Beat for about 5 minutes, then add aquafaba and vanilla extract and continue beating for at least another 2 minutes.
Step #4: Gradually add flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and xanthan gum to the mixture. It is very important to do it slowly so that it doesn’t lose volume and fluffiness.
Step #5: Start pouring in the milk slowly. Beat until everything is nicely combined, but pay attention not to overmix the batter. It is recommended not to skip scraping the sides of the bowl.
Step #6: Chop Oreo cookies into small pieces and add to the cake batter. Mix with a spatula until combined.
Step #7: Divide the cake batter into three equal parts, and then distribute equally among three previously prepared cake pans.
Step #8: The baking process takes about 30 minutes, depending on the power of your oven, however, it is very easy to check when the sponge cake is done, simply insert a toothpick and if it comes out with only a few moist crumbs, you can turn off the oven.
Step #9: Allow the cake layers to cool completely.
Making the Buttercream
Step #1: First, beat the butter until light and fluffy. The process should run at maximum speed for about 10 minutes.
Step #2: Then add icing sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. It is necessary to reduce the speed of the mixer and beat until a nice mixture is obtained.
Step #3: Add the strawberry jam and mix until smooth and creamy, occasionally scraping the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
Assembling the cake
Step #1: Some people like it when the cake looks perfect, if you are one of them, you can level each cake layer with a kitchen knife.
Step #2: Place one layer on a flat surface (cake board or plate) and spread about 1½ cups of buttercream over it.
Step #3: Spread the buttercream around the edge and, if desired, arrange chopped fresh strawberries.
Step #4: Repeat the process for the next two cake layers.
Step #5: Spread a thin layer of the remaining buttercream all over the cake, and smooth the sides with a cake smoother.
Step #6: Decorate according to your preferences.
