Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1.5 cups unsalted butter (softened)
• 4.5 cups powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons heavy cream
• 12 cookies Oreos (crushed for buttercream)
• 6 cookies Oreos (additional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Slowly pour the boiling water into the batter while mixing on low speed. The batter will be thin, but that's normal.

Step 5

Evenly divide the batter between the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6

Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7

To make the buttercream frosting, beat the softened butter on medium-high speed in a large bowl until creamy and smooth, about 3 minutes.

Step 8

Gradually add in the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing on low speed. Once all the powdered sugar is incorporated, add the heavy cream and mix until fluffy.

Step 9

Fold the crushed Oreos (12 cookies) into the buttercream until evenly distributed.

Step 10

Assemble the cake by placing one cake layer on a serving platter. Spread an even layer of Oreo buttercream on top. Repeat this step for the second and third layers.

Step 11

Frost the outside and top of the cake with the remaining Oreo buttercream. Smooth the edges with an offset spatula.

Step 12

Garnish the cake with additional crushed Oreos or whole Oreo cookies on top.

Step 13

Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.

Step 14

Slice and enjoy the rich, creamy Cookies N Cream Cake!
