Chocolate Covered Cherry Oreo Cake

*See the tutorial on how to make this cake right HERE!

***

I recently read a review of my blog that consisted of two words.

Calorie Heavy.

I was bit a taken aback by this short and decisive description. But, I decided to to not feel embarrassed or disappointed in the single minded perspective.

Know why? It's SO true. I blog about baking. And 99% of the time, its cakes and cookies. That have lots of calories.

My blog is Calorie Heavy.

As am I.

Just sayin.

That being said, sharing this next calorie heavy cake with you is a great treat for me. Its probably the most fattening cake I have ever made.

Scratch that… I have made lots of cakes. Its just really yummy.

This quiet little unassuming cake packs a big punch.

It is a Oreo crumb covered, hot fudge dipped, chocolate covered cherry packed delicious white cake.

With a cherry on top.

Although I could not adore the oreo cookie crumb coating more… I have to tell you.

Its the amazingly sweet inside that I love.

Chocolate covered cherries.

Encased in a bed a sweet vanilla frosting.

Surrounded by a rich white cake.

Under a coat of hot fudge. Topped with oreo crumbs.

Now… I made this cake a week ago. But have been to scared to share it! I mean. Its a bit over the top.

I was going to offer a tutorial right away but it occurred to me… people probably dont want to make a cake that should really be served by the fork bite instead of by the plate.

Its just too much! My insane idea to make this cake must have been based on some weird pregnancy hormone.

I think.

Just for the record… next time I make this I am going to add more oreo. ;)

Thank you so much Angie for this beautiful cake stand! I just love it!

    OMW – this looks completely decadent and delicious.
    right up my alley.
    Calories and all :)

  2. Joy says:

    Oh.my.goodness. Can you say heaven?? You MUST post the tutorial!!! Oh, and one of the reasons I love your blog so much?? It IS calorie heavy! Keep the cakes and cookies a coming!!

  3. Londa says:

    Yum! How do you come up with these ideas? Oh yes, the babies! What we “endure” eating (craving) to get these little ones safely into the world! :) . Glad the calorie critique didn’t get you down!

  4. Hazel says:

    Yum! The oreo crumb shell means it has the best of both a Carvel ice cream cake and a traditional cake.

  5. Oh my goodness… this is to good to be true! And don’t worry… a few of my recipes have been linked on the “This Is Why You’re Fat” website. Is that a compliment? Hahaha!

  6. Renee says:

    That looks so amazingly YUMMY! I bet it would be good with crushed oreos in the frosting layer seperating the cake layers too. I wish I could try this one… but its totally not on my diet. Stupid diet…

  7. Sarah says:

    This looks amazing. I would love the tutorial. Calorie heavy food isn’t inherently bad. There is absolutly nothing wrong with enjoying calorie heavy food. What IS a problem (as with just about anything) is when you have too much of a good thing. Your blog is about baking – this is the good stuff that we expect. Keep it coming. We’ll figure out the balance :)

  8. Azue Abdul says:

    oh! I love Oreo..and really hope to get this on my birthday!! and I love your blog too..sometimes i’m so jealous that you can bake lots of delicious ‘calorie heavy food’ :p i loved yummy cookies and cakes!!XD

  9. NelsonTurf says:

    Umm…it’s freakin’ dessert! Of COURSE it’s calorie heavy! I’m SO sick of the recipes that try to be “healthy.” If I want dessert, I am NOT going to choose something “light”…b’cause no matter WHAT they say…it doesn’t taste as good. I have to sift through all the online recipes, and it’s surprisingly difficult to find a good recipe that hasn’t been defiled by healthy substitutions. Bake on, woman!

  10. Amanda says:

    I don’t think its the pregnant lady hormones in me….. but I REALLY want to eat that cake!

  11. Oh my yes, please share how you made it! It looks wonderful!

  12. That cake is insane! I can’t get over the height and the description “Chocolate covered cherries, encased in a bed of sweet vanilla frosting. Surrounded by a rich white cake. Under a coat of hot fudge. Topped with oreo crumbs.” I mean come on, even the cherries inside the cake are covered in chocolate! If pregnancy hormones are the cause of this beauty then I might seriously need to consider…. scratch that, I’ll leaving the baking up to you for now :-)

  13. NEVER by hesitant to post what you bake. Bring on the calories, honey!!! Besides being decadent, it is so, so beautiful!
    You are the Queen of Sweets, and THAT is a good thing! :)

  14. Wow… This is amazing, just like everything you make… Calorie heavy or not!

  15. Wow! Your desserts are just amazing. What an incredible job.

  16. Every time I stop by your blog I am filled with wonder at your talent! And you are so sweet, which makes it a true joy to read your blog :)

  17. Gabrielle says:


    magnifique gâteau!!

  18. Stephanie says:

    That is a little over the top, but who really cares. Thanks for sharing it.

  19. JP'sMom says:

    I love you ‘calorie heavy’ blog. Love it. Everything I make from your recipes tastes amazing! The amount of flour, sugar, and butter consumption has quadrupled in our home in the last year. But so have the memories and smiles!
    Keep the fun recipes coming!

  20. Lynn says:

    I love it! Heavenly! One word for your blog! Forget about those other two words, I mean we are here to bake and hopefully make it and eat it! I want it to taste as delicious as your pics look, so I will take all the more butter, sugar, frosting, or OREOS!!! Love this! Thanks for sharing!

  21. Rita says:

    That’s just beautiful….I’m somewhat new to this so I’m just wondering…How do you get that layer of frosting so thick in the middle without having it bunch out the sides of the cake and make that little “bump” of the outside edges of the cake?

  22. Will post a tutorial soon! :)

  23. This IS over the top, Amanda! What a treat! I LOVE chocolate and cherry together. Beautiful!!

  24. Really – I mean REALLY!!! Calorie dense & I am smitten by this cake. When I do real cakes I say go BIG or go home :) Gorgeous Amanda!! xxoo

  25. julieta says:

    Awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  26. OH how I want this cake so badly…..
    Chocolate covered cherries are one of my most favorite things.

  27. Maria says:

    Love this creation!

    Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

  31. julie says:

    This looks very similar to the oreop vanilla cake I made 2 weeks ago for my blog 4 layers of vanilla butter cake, with double stuff oreo and marshmallow icicng in between each layer. Then I covered the entire thing with crushed oreo. Go check it out, it was positively sinful… and I dont think its the pregnancy hormones, Im not even close to being pregnant, and I want to make stuff like this all the time.

  32. Kelli says:

    Call me crazy. I think I want to make it. I know my hubs would love it! Calories smalories.

  33. I simply must make this cake. Please share the tutorial.

  34. Emme says:

    Love it! Found you through Mingle Monday and so glad I did. Even if I don’t bake, am trying to cut calories, I can now live vicariously through your blog – Yum!

    Calorie or no calories i am so making this! YUMMY! xo

  36. Sheila says:

    Was your kitchen covered in oreo cookie crumbs? Goodness gracious…this does look over the top! You’ve really out done yourself this time ; D

  37. Just.. whoa! That is an intense cake, my friend. James is drooling all over it though, so I know you done good.

  38. shari says:

    CALORIES??????????????love em!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    You MUST have calories in a cake to taste good. I am dying to bake this!
    Good luck with the delivery, and post a picture of the new addition. (baby not cake)

  39. CakeStory says:

    OH. MY. GAWD.
    You go, girl! <3

  40. Sharlaine says:

    Don’t give it another thought about the calories, it’s what we do and proud of it!

  41. Christina says:

    How do you make it look so beautiful?!?
    I mean really if I were to try this it would be a crumbly mess!
    You are so talented Amanda!!
    xoxo

  42. Erin says:

    mmm, yum! How did you get the Oreo crust to look so perfect like that??

  43. PSHAW!!! Forget the tutorial! Put it in your cookbook!
    Which you should entitle…Calorie Heavy….just sayin’!

  44. Calories are FUN!!! This cake looks great… like have fun great…

  45. Lexi says:

    Where would we be in the world without calorie heavy blogs? I for one seem to only read calorie heavy blogs…They make me get off my but and actually try new things. That cake is stunning. Anything with chocolate and cherries is definitely a go. Every year for my mom’s birthday my dad, my sister, and I make my dads chocolate cake and drench it in canned cherries. It’s gone in a day, easily.

  46. Jenny Flake says:

    Drop Dead Gorgeous! Love this!

  47. Tracy says:

    Looks perfectly delicious to me!!

  48. Margaret says:

    You MUST give us the instructions on how to make this! This would be the PERFECT cake for my dad’s 60th birthday party. Please, oh, please, share. Calorie heavy or not – you only get a birthday once a year!

  49. Calories be damned… This looks like heaven. Can’t wait for the tutorial. There WILL be a tutorial, right?! :)

  50. Jody says:

    If you can’t have calories in cake, where can you have calories?

  51. katie says:

    So not weird AT ALL!
    I actually think that as soon as this baby is born (Wednesday, early c section) and the gestational diabetes has passed and i’m feeling all recovered and up to baking this is going to be the first treat on my list!! :)
    Sounds SO super fantastic! I have never craved cookes and cake more in my entire life!!!

  52. Why do you tempt us so!? Must give directions!

  53. Felisha says:

    Please post the tutorial! :) Looks amazing!

  54. Madeleine says:

    Your cake is absolutely stunning! I must have one@! You can’t leave us hanging in suspense like this. You must post a tutorial. Can’t wait!

  55. Jenny says:

    You MUST be joking about us not wanting a tute. I have to make that cake.

  56. Kristen says:

    You never cease to amaze me with your cake talent! Those photos are magazine quality. Gorgeous!

  57. SMITH BITES says:

    oh dear. this is some cake . . . and then some . . . wowie . . . golly gee . . . holy-moly . . . there just aren’t enough adjectives to describe how i feel about this cake . . . sure glad The Professor made me gelato . . . but it would go really well with this cake . . .

  58. Heidi says:

    This cake looks amazing!

  59. Sue says:

    This cake is so over the top, and I LOVE it! How do you come up with this stuff, Amanda?!? The oreo cookie crumb is INCREDIBLE!

  60. Anna says:

    Wow this looks crazy good. I am always in awe of the scrumptious and delicious creations you come up with :o ) there is now such thing as a too heavy or too decadent cake.

  61. Sarah says:

    Oh my word!!! Your family / friends are very lucky!

  62. Kathia says:

    I love calorie heavy, please keep blogging as much calories as you can

  63. Eliana says:

    Over the top? That is pure nonsense. This looks absolutely perfect (and incredible) to me.

  64. OMG! How did I miss this!?? seriously cool. I am kind of on an oreo cookie kick anyways….

  65. Dalia says:

    Amanda, I just adore your blog, you are so talented.
    This cake is gorgeous and has my favorite combination, chocolate and cherries, can’t go wrong! Please post a tutorial!
    Don’t let the calorie critic get to you, whoever he/she is, would probably kill to sink their teeth into that cake. If you haven’t seen it, watch the movie “Chocolat”, it will definitely cheer you up!

  66. Alicia says:

    I think someone is just JEALOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! And I’m glad you didn’t take that small comment personal!! Besides…all the rest of us love seeing all your goodies!!!
    And this cake is seriously one that my husband would DEVOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s like a surprise in surprise!! LOL

  67. Michelle Ross says:

    OK, you have to post the tutorial. OMGosh, I may never have more than two bites but it is beautiful just to look at. Have to give it a try.
    Thanks for posting this. Hey who cares if it is Calorie Heavy, you are not forcing anyone to eat this or anything else. Keep up the great work!

    Is there a recipe somewhere?

  69. Gail says:

    I’m so glad I’m reading this AFTER my colonoscopy this morning instead of before.
    It may be deadly, but it’s beautiful.

  70. Kristen says:

    This may be the best cake Ive seen posted :o ) As for calorie heavy? Its the I Am Baker blog not the I Am Obsessed with My Weight Blog- carry on with the calories :o )

  71. WenDee Riffe says:

  78. Shannon says:

    We love you {Calorie Heavy} and all! Great job on this cake, it is a work of art!

  79. Megan O. says:

    really! No recipe???? We love you and your blog BECAUSE of these recipes! Don’t think I could make mine look this beautiful, but I have GOT TO give it a try! Share…pwease???? :)

  80. Rhondi says:

    This is an amazing cake! I would eat a whole piece, not just a forkful…just saying! I love your blog and everything you bake. Keep it coming!

  81. lauren says:

    Ohh emmm geee. I want to make this right now!! Or at least eat it. It’s freaking gorgeous!
    p.s- what’s life without some calorie heavy blogs? That’s what portion control is for.

  82. Brandi M. says:

    Okay, I’m curious. How did you put the hot fudge without everything just dripping off? (In other words, tutorial please!) :)

  83. Andrea Saunders says:

    What did that person expect. It is a baking website and you even mentioned it in your title that there would be lots of calories. If we wanted a diet site then we would go there instead. A true person knows that you can’t eat bland diet food all the time and that you need to allow yourself to enjoy treats. That is why we come to your blog to find great, no amazing deserts that taste amazing. So don’t take it to heart. They are probably a skinny pick that can’t handle looking at your yummy food. They can find a diet site with bland yucky food. I would love your recipe since I will enjoy every calorie it gives me.

  84. This one looks perfect.. Wanna piece of it.. :)

  85. juliana says:

    Blogs don’t have claories, they are colorie free zones. Would LOVE the tutorial, you know, incase this cake calls on the floor and you have to make another one or something ;)

  86. Stefi says:

    I absolutely love your blog, dont listen to dumb comments!
    you make BEAUTIFUL things! so inspiring.

  87. Sweet Pea says:

    To Julie: would love to check it out, but you didn’t mention your blog name. Maybe I skipped through the comments too quick and missed it. Been known to do that. Calorie heavy smallorie meavy – Ride a bike, enjoy life, each delicious bite full! God made fat and it is necessary in moderation – proven, scientific fact. I will definetly make this for a birthday party, etc., but I may drizzle the hot fudge over the oreo part rather than underneath. Maybe.

  88. Nancy @SensitivePantry says:

    You are a cake muse, Amanda. I love coming here to see all your beautiful creations. Just one more spectacular cake for me to ogle. *deep sigh*

  89. TidyMom says:

    you made this for my birthday right Amanda? lol you have my address for delivery in March! {wink}

  90. Angie says:

    “Calorie Heavy” is the precise reason why I love your blog and this delicious Oreo cake.

  91. Rowaida Flayhan says:

    Gorgeous cake

  92. This looks fabulous – like a modern day black forest gâteau. We’re genetically programmed to search out high calorie food (a survival instinct from caveman days) so really, your blog is a testament to the human condition :D

  93. linda says:

    love the look of this cake & cannot wait to bake…& YES to TUTORIAL…please!
    one does not have to bake & eat “calorie heavy” desserts if they do not want to…there are choices…but… when i bake i like to treat myself & others to your wonderful recipes & we are all just fine with that!

  94. colleen says:

    I LOVE it! I made a chocolate and ice cream cake similar to this but instead the Cholate covered cherries were sandwiched into two 9inch rounds of vanilla ice cream, the cake was then covered in hot fudge and covered in crushed oreo.:O)

  95. colleen says:

    come to think of it I was preggy when I made that cake too. hmmmmm pregnancy hormones breed genius ideas

  96. I see you have 98 comments but i HAVE to add in one more! My daughter’s 17th birthday is next weekend. She adores oreo cookies as well as chocolate covered cherries. I would love to see the tutorial on how to make this cake. If I am feeling really brave, I just might give it a try. I cannot wait to see what else you have baked.

  97. Reesa says:

    If that’s the pregnancy talking, I must be pregnant.

  98. Charlyssa says:

    This looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it sometime!

  99. Oh my…oh my…my mouth is just watering! I so need a tutorial on this baby! For the love of everything good, that just looks amazing. And by the way, I’d love that oreo coating too, so delish!

  100. Post the tutorial, please! Who cares if it’s over the top! That’s why we make cakes!! Post it! Post it!

  101. Nicole says:

  104. paul says:

    don’t let anyone make you feel ashamed for what you do or how you look. This cake is amazing. And so are all of the other things you make. You are really talented.

  105. What a clever idea! I have some Oreo cookie crumbs left over from making a “dirt cake” and was wondering what to do with them. Now I do. This looks great! Thanks for sharing it.
    Here’s what my dirt cake looked like: http://bit.ly/ieL2k7

  106. Wazzra says:

    I love cakes shaped like that… how wonderful it would look on a black and white themed table!

  107. Amanda L. (Tales From A Kitchen Misfit) says:

    “Calorie Heavy” is just a euphemism for “Absolutely Delicious”. Seriously though, I am in awe of how amazing this cake looks!

  108. justine @ you're so martha says:

    i don’t even have words….except maybe wow

  109. Lydia says:

    Aw, don’t care what others say who are afraid of calories! This cake looks absolutely stunning and I’d love to read a tutorial. (Even though I will never be able to bake pretty cakes like you do.)
    So please feel free to “feed” me with cakes like this every single day in your sweet live. :-)
    The best wishes from Austria – Lydia

  117. Nellie says:

    Absolutely beautiful and looks outrageously delicious! My mouth was watering just looking at it…you MUST give us a tutorial because I’d love to attempt to make this.

  118. Erica B. says:

  125. Lillifred says:

    I want to eat this now.

  126. Great cake – how on Earth did you cut & serve it? Calorie heavy – as long as you have fun, who cares, right? :)

  127. Memoria says:

    This blog is yours; ignore what others think and just share what you like. We expect most desserts to be calorie heavy, and readers have the choice to make these desserts or not. So, do what you like; don’t be ashamed of anything you post, and don’t worry about the criticism, unless it is constructive and invited :) .
    Anyway, that cake looks freaking awesome!! What a great idea! You’re so creative.

  128. Kristen says:

    This is a simply STUNNING cake! I have officially fallen IN LOVE with this cake!

  129. Krisi says:

    oh dear- that. is. BEAUTIFUL!

  130. Marian (Sweetopia) says:

    I think it’s gorgeous AND you’re making me really really want a piece of it RIGHT NOW!
    I say it’s all about eating the delicious foods (like your dessets); they’re meant to be enjoyed! As long as I have someone to share it with, I won’t eat the whole thing! (Moderation is the key don’t you think!? Translation, eat some and then quickly give the rest to the neighbours before I eat it all ;-)

  131. Miri Leigh says:

    WOW, this cake looks too good to be true! The photos are wonderful– thanks for sharing!

  132. ceecee says:

    Absolutely scrumptious. “calorie heavy” …. really a beautiful compliment for your blog!
    ceecee

  133. Emily says:

    I made the mistake of sharing this link on fb last night, and now people are wondering how to do it…so please share the tutorial if/when you can!!! Pretty, pretty, please, with a cherry on top?? ;)

  134. Katie@Cozydelicious says:

    Bring on the calories! That is truly the most beautiful, surprising, cake I have ever seen. And so many flavors – yum!

  135. grace says:

    some say calorie heavy, i say calorie heaven. i’m never NOT interested in something you post, and this one’s no exception–the cherry on top is the clincher!

  136. Lara says:

    Wow! That is such an impressive cake. You don’t see something that perfect in the best of bakeries. I am not as good of a baker as I am a cook but you make me want to try. I would love the tutorial. Very glad you are staying true to you.

  137. Everything you make is such a beautiful work of art, my friend.

  138. naomi says:

    Um, seriously you are my cake hero! Holy cake goodness and beauty, I love this!!!

  139. blackbookkitchendiaries says:

    Wow! this is beautiful:) everything you create is beautiful!

  140. Jessica S. says:

    Wow, this cake is beautiful! And you can never go wrong coating something in chocolate and oreo crumbs. I want to go to the store right now and get the ingredients to make it. Thanks for sharing this idea!

  141. Alison says:

    Not a big fan of cherries, but I’m thinking some peanut butter cups would be the bomb! Either with the vanilla cake and frosting or chocolate…

  142. Val says:

    When I first read what you said the review of your blog was, I thought it said, “calorie heaven”. That would be a more appropriate phrase.

  143. Heidi Gore says:

    If people are concerned that your recipes are “calorie heavy” then maybe then need to go to websites like “I am tofu” or “I am alfalfa sprouts.” Get real. Did we not think that a website that is called “I am baker” would be “calorie heavy”? Of course we knew that. That’s one of the reasons why we came in the first place.

  144. Kristal says:

    Lord have mercy… I must make that cake. The pictures are to die for! Where can I find the recipe?

  145. I just popped over from the PW to have another look at your fabulous cake. What a beauty! I’m not much of a baker, but I know a good looking cake when I see it.
    Sam

  146. Colleen says:

    This is my first visit to your blog. I arrived here via the Pioneer Woman link – and I think it’s beautiful! You display loads of creativity, and the photography’s beautiful. I had to comment after reading the “calorie heavy” comment. Honestly, it really boils my blood when people have the nerve to comment on the rich foods they find on BAKING blogs. For example, yours is called I AM BAKER!!! I appreciate that we still have a community of people who appreciate hand-made foods that are based on fresh, unprocessed ingredients – and I’m thankful that list of ingredients inlcudes butter! We don’t eat cake 3 times a day, but cake plays an important role in celebrating life! Ugh, it’s like when people go look at makeup blogs and then comment that they “much prefer women who don’t wear any makeup.” Um, then don’t come look at makeup blogs. Whew! I got worked up over this one! Beautiful site and thanks for sharing with all of us.

  147. Can I just say. Oh. My. Gosh.

    Its not calorie heavy its calorie HEAVEN!!!! And please I would love to see a tutorial, my goal this year is to make all birthday caked from scratch!

  149. Kat says:

    This looks absolutely stunning……..and don’t be concerned about someone describing your blog as calorie heavy – who cares, calories are awesome, and what’s a piece of cake if it’s not laden with calories?!

    Trying to get my jaw off the floor. OH MY! It’s perfect. And those crumbs on the outside. I’m stunned. As far as the tutorials go, really? It’s nice for you to share so much, but goodness. I’ll buy a book from you. You’re amazing.

    You are my heroette..lol I love what you do with cakes..and oblivious to the calories too. yep you wear a cape alright.
    My cake baking as slowed to a crawl but could definately rev a little just by visiting your site.
    I have a suggestion for the frosting, it would take it up a notch more in the calorie department but is an awesome frosting.
    Meringue Buttercream..mmm I use Collette Peters recipe. YUM
    You have made a fan for life or until I can’t get through the door LOL.

    I just randomly came across this recipe (looks magnificent btw!), and just want to say that my blog and myself are also “calorie heavy” – more power to us, I say! Keep up the amazing recipes, some things in life are worth being a little chubby for :)
