Ingredients

For the Cake:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup light brown sugar
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¾ cup low-fat buttermilk
• ½ cup hot water or brewed coffee

For the Peanut Butter Filling:

• ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
• 4 oz light cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• ½ cup light whipped topping

For the Oreo Layer:

• 8–10 Oreo cookies, crushed

For the Chocolate Ganache:

• ¾ cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
• ½ cup light cream or half-and-half
• 1 tbsp butter (optional, for extra shine)

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.

2. Make the Cake Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, mix sugars, oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add dry ingredients, alternating with buttermilk, then stir in hot water or coffee until well blended.

3. Bake
Divide batter evenly between pans and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.

4. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling
In a mixing bowl, beat peanut butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar until creamy. Fold in whipped topping until light and fluffy.

5. Assemble the Cake
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread the peanut butter filling evenly on top, then sprinkle with crushed Oreos. Place the second cake layer on top.

6. Make the Ganache
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat cream until hot (but not boiling). Add chocolate chips and butter, stirring until smooth and glossy. Let cool slightly until thickened but still pourable.

7. Pour and Finish
Pour ganache over the cake, letting it drip down the sides for a dramatic finish. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
