Ingredients

For the Cake:

• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
• ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• 1 ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water

For the Frosting:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• ¼ cup heavy cream (plus more as needed)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 12 Oreo cookies, crushed

For Garnish:

• Extra crushed Oreos
• Whole Oreos for decoration

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cake
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Add Wet Ingredients
Beat in eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla until well combined. Stir in boiling water last—the batter will be thin.

4. Bake
Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cakes cool completely.

5. Make the Frosting
In a large bowl, beat softened butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar gradually, alternating with heavy cream, and mix until fluffy. Stir in vanilla extract and crushed Oreos.

6. Assemble the Cake
Place one cooled cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a thick layer of Oreo frosting on top. Add the second cake layer, then frost the top and sides with remaining frosting.

7. Garnish & Serve
Decorate with extra Oreo crumbles and whole cookies. Slice and enjoy!
