Make this Whole wheat Orange Cookie Flair Cake made with 100% whole-wheat flour, kinuĀ fruit juice and oreo cookies.This amazing dessert will win your heart instantly.
I keep looking for healthy tiffin options for my son’s school.Other than a normal sandwich or pasta or pizza,porridge,poha,parantha,puris..etc.A sweet or savory inclusion is a must to keep it creative and attractive.With such healthy and fancy eatables, which keep him waiting to open the tiffin for his short breaks and big breaks ,one ensures that he finishes the tiffin and of course is happily doing so.
This cake of mine came in the platter as i had some extra Kinnow/Kinu fruit and i had to use them before they overripe and i have to discard them.The best way to use the juices and make it into a meal is a cake so i just combined the juice with my sons favourite oreo cookie and with some hidden things like dried apricots and added orange candied peel which go well with it and he does not eat them otherwise. It’s just my way of getting him to eat the healthy stuff esp. in winters which he would otherwise never agree to have.I guess all mothers do this hiding the good beneath trick.
Anyways this way i just find an easier and tastier way of making my dishes more healthy and complete.So here is my next ..which as soon as i tasted i fell in love with it.And this seriously is not an exaggeration as i have my friends and family who had this lovely piece of orange bliss vouch for it.Its rich with butter , sugar and Oreo crush ,made healthier with wholewheat and kinu juice and dried apricots…along with egg protein .

I have to say I’m guilty of hiding the “good” stuff in food for my kids too! LOL Love your combination of ingredients…very creative! And Oreos have always been my fave! š
OH yum! What a unique use for oreos! I’m all about it. I love chocolate and orange together and think the oreos would be sooo yummy.
I love how this cake has Oreos in it!! I actually bought a bundt pan a couple of days ago, and I am so excited to use it!!
My kids would be excited to see this. Oreo’s are their favorite and mine too ,will save this .,
Cookies in a cake? Count me in! The crumb of this cake looks perfect and I love that it’s made with whole wheat flour!
I can see how moist this cake is. I was so surprised to see Oreos in there! I bet this is really yummy š
I quite enjoy the flavour combo of orange and chocolate, and who doesn’t love oreos?! Very intriguing combinations of flavours you’ve got going on here.
Orange is one of those flavors that I just love in cakes and you don’t see it too often. I’ll have to give this one a try.
Yummy! I would love to find that cake in my lunch. Desserts with orange are one of my favorites. Looks SO delish!
I made a pumpkin bundt cake today and I was wondering if it would taste good with chocolate. I never thought about combining chocolate and orange like you did. thanks for sharing
I love that this has Oreos in it! Such a fun surprise. The combination of the chocolate and orange must be so so good. I’ve only ever combined it in cocktails but not in a cake.
I hide fruits and veggies into almost everything I make for my kids too!
Yum, what a perfect fall cake. Sounds amazing that it has oreos inside! Pinning this to try sometime next week!
