Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 and 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
  • 24 Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
  • Additional crushed Oreos for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  4. Slowly add boiling water to the batter, mixing until smooth. The batter will be thin.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks.
  8. To make the frosting, beat butter until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, then heavy cream and vanilla. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  9. Fold in crushed Oreos into the frosting.
  10. Once cakes are cooled, spread a layer of frosting on top of one cake layer. Place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.
  11. Garnish with additional crushed Oreos.
  12. Chill cake for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for best mixing results.
  • You can substitute store-bought chocolate cake mix if desired.
