Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 20 Oreo cookies
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
Stir in boiling water (the batter will be thin). Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
While the cake cools, make the Oreo frosting: Take 10 Oreo cookies and crush them into fine crumbs.
In a large bowl, beat unsalted butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
Add heavy cream and beat until well combined. Stir in the crushed Oreo crumbs.
Place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread with a layer of frosting.
Place the second cake layer on top and spread frosting over the top and sides of the cake.
Crush the remaining 10 Oreo cookies coarsely and sprinkle over the top of the cake for decoration.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving to set the frosting.
