Ingredients
Scale
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 15 Oreo cookies, crushed (Plus extra for garnish)
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 10 Oreo cookies, crushed (For mixing into the frosting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a bowl. Mix well.
- Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, and mix until smooth.
- Carefully mix in the boiling water until combined. The batter will be thin, which is normal.
- Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies into the batter, ensuring an even distribution.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Once baked, let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- Beat the softened butter until creamy for the frosting. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until well combined.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and heavy cream, adjusting the consistency if needed.
- Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies into the frosting. Spread the frosting between the layers and on top of the cake, garnishing with additional Oreo cookies.
Notes
Chill your utensils for a smoother frosting; ensure eggs and butter are at room temperature for better texture.
