Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, applesauce, oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the non-dairy milk. Mix until just combined.

Step 5

Fold in 10 crushed Oreo cookies into the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter equally between the prepared cake pans.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

For the filling and frosting, beat the dairy-free cream cheese and dairy-free butter together until smooth and creamy.

Step 10

Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy.

Step 11

Fold in the remaining 10 crushed Oreo cookies until evenly distributed.

Step 12

Once the cakes are completely cool, spread a generous layer of Oreo frosting between the two cake layers.

Step 13

Use the remaining frosting to cover the top and sides of the cake.

Step 14

Decorate with additional Oreo cookies on top if desired.

Step 15

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