Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 12 cookies Oreo cookies, finely crushed (for frosting)
- 8 cookies Oreo cookies, roughly chopped (for decoration)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed until well combined.
Carefully add the boiling water to the batter and mix until smooth. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and cool completely on wire racks.
For the frosting, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing until fully combined.
Fold in the finely crushed Oreo cookies, mixing gently until the cookies are evenly distributed.
Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a plate or cake stand and spread a generous layer of frosting on top.
Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
Decorate the cake with roughly chopped Oreo cookies on top, pressing them gently into the frosting.
Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
Slice and enjoy your homemade Oreo Cookie Cake!
