Instructions
Prepare the Cake Batter:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Incorporate Boiling Water: Gradually add the boiling water to the batter, stirring until smooth. The batter will be thin, which ensures a moist cake.
Bake the Cake:
- Divide and Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the Cakes: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Oreo Frosting:
- Cream the Butter: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add Sugar and Cream: Gradually add the powdered sugar, alternating with the heavy cream, until the frosting reaches a spreadable consistency.
- Incorporate Oreos: Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies and mix until evenly distributed.
Assemble the Cake:
- Layer the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a thick layer of Oreo frosting over the top.
- Add the Second Layer: Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining Oreo frosting.
- Decorate: Garnish with whole Oreo cookies around the edges and sprinkle crushed Oreos on top for a decorative finish.
