Ingredients
Scale
- For the Cake:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 1 cup boiling water
- For the Oreo Cream Filling:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup crushed Oreo cookies
- For the Frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (more if needed)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup crushed Oreo cookies (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Slowly pour in the boiling water and stir until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the Oreo cream filling, beat the butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth and fluffy. Gently fold in the crushed Oreos.
- For the frosting, beat the softened butter with powdered sugar, cocoa powder, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more cream if necessary.
- Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one cake layer on a serving platter. Spread the Oreo cream filling on top of the first cake layer.
- Top with the second cake layer and spread the chocolate frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
- Sprinkle the crushed Oreo cookies on top of the cake for decoration.
- Chill the cake in the fridge for about 30 minutes to set the frosting, then slice and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can add a few tablespoons of sour cream to the cake batter.
- This cake can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- For a fun twist, try using mini Oreos as a topping or add extra Oreo chunks to the frosting.
