Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Electric mixer
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Cake Pans
- Parchment paper
- Cooling rack
- Spatula
- Cake Stand or Platter
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 4-6 tbsp milk
- 1 ½ cups crushed Oreo cookies
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed until the batter is smooth.
- Stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but that's okay. It's what makes the cake moist and delicious.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until it's creamy and smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing until well combined.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and enough milk to achieve your desired frosting consistency.
- Crush the Oreo cookies (you can do this by placing them in a zip-top bag and using a rolling pin) and fold them into the frosting.
- Place one cake layer on your cake stand or platter.
- Spread a generous layer of Oreo frosting on top of the first layer.
- Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining Oreo frosting.
- You can decorate the cake with additional Oreo crumbs or even whole Oreo cookies for a stunning presentation.
- Slice and serve this masterpiece. Enjoy!
