Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch round baking pans by greasing and flouring them.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the wet ingredients: eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  • Carefully stir in the boiling water to the batter until just combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Prepare the filling by beating the cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar and crushed Oreos.
  • Once the cake layers are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate and spread an even layer of the filling on top.
  • Place the second layer on top and spread frosting over the entire cake, smoothing it out as needed.
  • Garnish with additional crushed Oreos on top for an extra touch and flavor.
  • Slice, serve, and enjoy this delightful Oreo cake with family and friends!
