For those of you who have used the Whimsical Bakehouse Oreo Cookies and Cream recipe for a filling I was wondering what chocolate cake recipe (or other type) you have used that work out well? I have made the filling and think it tastes great, but I have not made it with a cake that I didn't give away yet.

Thanks so much!

Try the Chocolate Layer Cake posted here at CC in the recipes section by Tripletmom...it's a delicious cake!! I think it originally came from epicurious.com. I've made it about 5 times now and decided that it's going to be my 'signature' chocolate cake...lol. It's really yummy with the WBH cookies & cream filling, too!

Honestly any chocolate cake with be good with it. I absolutely love that recipe.

that is my absolute favorite filling. yum yum! ;P i think it goes great with any cake i can even eat it plain

I'm dying to try this famous oreo recipe ... but you guys are scaring me!!! .... I'm affraid once I taste I'll become an addict!

I also like it with Toba Garrett's Chocolate Fudge cake (which tastes like a rich, chewy brownie on steroids!!). Yummy!!!!

Thank you everyone for your great ideas and information! I love being a part of this website and all of your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Oh, I forgot to ask you JennT, for the chocolate layer cake by tripletmom what type of coffee do you use? I never drink or make coffee, so do you think when I make this cake I could just drive through and get a fastfood (M's) regular coffee and take it home to use? Do you think that would work out fine?

Thanks for your input.

I usually just brew a strong pot of regular coffee on the day I make the cake...then if it's cooled by the time I need to use it I just warm it in the microwave. I wouldn't recommend a fast-food type of coffee, simply because they generally have a very bitter taste, to me, and I'm afraid that might come through in the cake. The finished cake doesn't necessarily scream coffee flavor at you, but I wouldn't want to risk it because it's such a good cake...lol. What I would suggest, since you're not a coffee drinker, is go buy a decent quality instant coffee at the grocery store. (It comes in little jars, usually, on the coffee and tea ailse at my store) Then boil some water (in your teapot, if you have one-makes it easier)...and put a couple of teaspoons of the instant coffee granules in a large cup or bowl and then pour the boiling water over it (enough to make the amount of coffee needed - 1 1/2 cups, I think ) and stir until dissolved.

Now, if you have a Starbucks or other coffee shop nearby...I'd go there and just ask for the amount of plain strong coffee that the recipe calls for. They'll probably not have a problem selling it to you. A Grande size might just be the right amount that you need. This would be a more expensive way of 'skinning this chicken', but the high-quality flavor of their coffee would benefit the cake more than say a McD's cup of joe would, lol

JennT-Thank you for your wonderful and detailed reply to my other question! That was really helpful and I can't wait to try this recipe out with the filling!! Yum yum.

Thanks so much!

I want to try this filling, too--I have a feeling I'll be eating it with a spoon out of the bowl!

I have used it with the WBH chocolate butter cake recipe and also with a good ole doctored devils food cake mix..can't beat that either!

Thank you for another recommendation and for all of your input! The filling is very very good!!

I agree that the WBH cookies & cream filling is so good on it's own, it really doesn't matter what you put it with...it'll be yummy!! lol I've used a devil's food box mix, too, & DH devoured it! But let me tell ya...when you put something that crazy yummy with a cake that is equally as yummy....ohhhh mannnn.... It's just out of this world good!! HA! If I weren't so sick of dealing with petit fours all day, I'd be in my kitchen in about 2 minutes whipping up both that filling & a chocolate layer cake to go with it!! lol

Havingfunbaking - I'm glad I was able to help ya! I wanted to give you more than a yes or no answer so it made sense why I said what I said & so you could have some options for the coffee, since your not a drinker of it yourself. I think I might just take my own advice & grap a couple of cups from my favorite coffee joint one day and toss it in that batter!! I'll take ANY excuse to go get a great cup of coffee!! lol

OMG ... I tried the chocolate cake by tripplet mom last night ..WOW ... awsome!!! ... I'm going to do the oreo filling today .... DH was even impressed and he doesn't even like chocolate ..... btw ... this was my first scratch cake .... yay!!!!
