Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
½ cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
1 package Oreo cookies (crushed)
2 cups heavy cream
½ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract (for frosting)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
Stir in boiling water until the batter is smooth.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Once the cakes are cool, spread a layer of whipped cream on top of one cake layer, sprinkle with crushed Oreos, and place the second layer on top.
Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining whipped cream and decorate with more crushed Oreos.
Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
Make sure the cakes are completely cool before frosting to prevent melting.
This cake can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
