Ingredients
Scale
- For the Chocolate Cake:
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- For the Oreo Frosting:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 8–10 cookies)
- For Decoration:
- Whole Oreo cookies
- Chocolate ganache (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
- Carefully stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth; the batter will be thin.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and heavy cream, mixing until smooth and fluffy.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and crushed Oreo cookies until evenly distributed.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of Oreo frosting on top.
- Place the second cake layer on top and spread frosting over the top and sides of the cake.
- Decorate the top with whole Oreo cookies and drizzle with chocolate ganache if desired.
- Slice the cake into wedges and serve. Enjoy.
