Ingredients

For the cake:

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp 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 tsp vanilla extract
  • 12 Oreo cookies, crushed

For decoration:

  • Extra crushed Oreos or whole Oreos for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
  2. Make the cake batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth. Stir in the boiling water until well combined (the batter will be thin).
  3. Bake the cake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. Prepare the Oreo frosting: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, alternating with the heavy cream, and beat until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract and fold in the crushed Oreos.
  5. Assemble the cake: Once the cakes are fully cooled, spread a generous layer of Oreo frosting between the two cake layers. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
  6. Decorate: Sprinkle additional crushed Oreos on top or garnish with whole Oreos for an extra decadent finish.

This Chocolate Oreo Cake is the ultimate combination of rich chocolate and creamy Oreo goodness, making it a show-stopping dessert that will delight any crowd!
