Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 20 pieces Oreo cookies, crushed
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this creates a moist cake.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the Oreo cream frosting, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to mix until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract and heavy cream, then fold in the crushed Oreo cookies.
Place one cooled cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of Oreo frosting on top.
Place the second cake layer on top and spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake.
Sprinkle additional crushed Oreo cookies on top for decoration.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving to set the frosting.
Slice and enjoy this decadent Oreo Blackout Cake!
