Baking Recipe: Bailey's Oreo Mousse Cake

I could still remember that very day I turned 21 and it sure feels like yesterday. I used to have this mind set thinking that being 21 means I am adult and that I would  have my own say and way to do things. Boy, was I wrong about that! Regardless the age I am now, whatever it is I will still be mom and dad's girl and my brother will sure be their young little boy in their eyes.

Who knew right.. time flies and that now my younger sibling is 21 years of age. It's time for him to spread those Vulcan wings and explore the possibilities in the world. With the right attitude and mind set, I sure hope he continues to develop his character, staying humble at all times and always be my cute loving brother whom I adore and pamper till this very day.
Let me tell you a little about him. My brother loves his OREOS to bits. From ice-cream to pop-tarts. As long it is cookies and cream involved, you will see him taking a huge glass of milk and dunking those little choc nuggets in it. There is never enough of OREOS in the house.

Naturally, the cake I baked for him has OREOS involved. No, it won't be OREO butter cream or cream cheese frosting. I wanted something lighter and fluffy to go along with my ultra dark chocolate cake covered with a layer of BAILEY'S Chocolate Milk syrup. Hence, I felt that the OREO mousse will work out perfectly. On the outer layer, the cake is covered with rich semi-sweet soft chocolate ganache frosting.

Doesn't this cake make you drool? Isn't it perfect for a 21st Birthday? The flavours of the cake is the ultimate combo. In a single bite, you will first taste the luscious silky semi-sweet chocolate ganache, then a hint of Baileys, then followed by the ultra fluffy cookies and cream or OREOS mousse filling where it's balanced all together with the rich aroma of dark, dense and moist chocolate cake. Now peeps, that to me is heaven.


Before I bid adios, needless to say that this post is dedicated to my brother who is a young man now. HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY!!! Do continue to support me okay? Even though I can be nasty.. LOL..

  4. Happy birthday to your brother! 21 is such a fun age. You did bring together some awesome ingredients here. Not many can resist oreos as well as Baileys. Also, "ultra dark" is probably the most enticing description I can think of when it comes to chocolate. Your pictures tell me that this was one rich chocolatey delight-yum! Have a great day.
