Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a flat baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until the mixture is thick, pale, and leaves a ribbon trail when the whisk is lifted.
Sift the flour into the egg mixture and add the vanilla liquid, then gently fold everything together with a spatula using light, circular motions.
Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until the top is golden and springs back when touched.
Prepare the buttercream by combining the mix with water, then beat in the softened butter and Oreo flavoring until the frosting is light and fluffy.
Use a small circular cutter to create mini cake layers from the cooled sponge, then stack them with frosting and apply a simple outer coat.

Notes

To ensure a perfectly smooth finish on your mini cakes, chill the sponge layers for 30 minutes before cutting and frosting. This prevents crumbs from mixing into your buttercream and helps the layers maintain their shape while you assemble the minimalist design.
