Oreo Funfetti Cake with Oreo Cheesecake Filling

Happy Birthday to the Oreo!! The cookie will be celebrating its 100th Birthday on March 6- and what better way to celebrate that achievement than with a triple-layer Oreo Funfetti Birthday cake- made with the new limited time Birthday Cake Oreos (I'm obnoxiously excited about these new oreos- they have sprinkles IN the filling!). To take this to the next level, a cheesecake frosting&filling accompanies the oreo funfetti layers.

Oreo Funfetti Cake with Oreo Cheesecake Filling
Oreo Funfetti Cake
1 recipe of this white cake (not baked, just prepare the batter)
7 birthday cake oreos (or regular), roughly chopped
1/4 cup sprinkles
Oreo Cheesecake Frosting & Filling
1 tub of Philadelphia cheesecake filling (next to the cream cheese in the store)
7 birthday cake oreos (or regular), roughly chopped
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

To make the cake:
1) Preheat oven to 300F. Fold crushed oreos and sprinkles into the white cake batter. Pour into parchment lined and greased cake pans (2, 8 inch round or 3, 6 inch round). Bake for about 30-50 minutes, until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

To make the Frosting and Filling:
1) Whip together the cheesecake filling, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Divide mixture into two bowls: 2/3 in one, 1/3 in the other.

2) In the bowl with 1/3 of the mixture, fold in the oreos. Set aside to fill cake.

3) In the bowl with 2/3 of the mixture, add food coloring to tint frosting, if desired. Set aside to frost cake.

Assembly:
On a cake plate, place one layer of the cake down. If you are making a 2-layer cake, fill with all (or as much as will fit reasonably) with the oreo cheesecake filling. If a you are making a 3-layer cake, use half of the filling in between each layer. Frost. Decorate with pretty birthday sprinkles or extra oreos, if desired.
