Ingredients: 

For the Chocolate Cake Layers:

2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
¾ cup (65g) unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup (240ml) buttermilk, at room temperature
½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup (240ml) hot water

For the Oreo Frosting:

1 ½ cups (340g) unsalted butter, softened
4 cups (480g) powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
15 Oreo cookies, crushed into fine crumbs

For Decoration (optional):

Additional Oreo cookies, halved or crushed, for garnish


Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch (23cm) round cake pans, and line the bottoms with parchment paper for easy removal.


In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.


Add the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed until well combined.


Gradually pour in the hot water while mixing on low speed. Continue to mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.


Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.


Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.


Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.


While the cakes are cooling, prepare the Oreo frosting. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.


Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.


Mix in the vanilla extract and heavy cream until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.


Gently fold in the crushed Oreo crumbs until evenly distributed throughout the frosting.


Once the cakes are completely cooled, assemble the Oreo Cake. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous layer of Oreo frosting on top.


Repeat with the remaining cake layers and frosting, stacking them on top of each other.


Use the remaining frosting to cover the top and sides of the cake, creating a smooth finish.


If desired, garnish the top of the cake with additional Oreo cookies, halved or crushed.


Chill the assembled cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set.


Slice and serve the Oreo Cake, and enjoy the irresistible combination of chocolate cake and cookies and cream frosting.
