Ingredients

Scale
  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • 1½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 15 crushed Oreo cookies (plus extra for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt for the cake batter.
  3. In another bowl, beat sugar, eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and 2 tsp vanilla extract.
  4. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, then stir in 1 cup of boiling water until you have a smooth cake batter.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake layers cool completely.
  7. For the frosting, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  8. Add 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the cream cheese and beat until combined.
  9. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks.
  10. Gently fold the whipped cream and 15 crushed Oreo cookies into the cream cheese mixture to create the cookies and cream frosting.
  11. Place one cooled cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of the cookies and cream frosting over the top.
  12. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the entire cake.
  13. Garnish the Cookies and Cream Oreo Cake with extra crushed Oreos.

Notes

  • For added texture, fold larger Oreo chunks into the frosting.
  • Chill the cake for 1–2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and frosting to set.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator, covered.
  • Room temperature ingredients for eggs and cream cheese ensure smooth batter and frosting.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent a dense cake.
  • Fold whipped cream gently to maintain its airy texture.
  • Level cake layers with a serrated knife for even stacking.
  • Chilling before slicing makes for cleaner cuts.
  • Substitute Oreos with other sandwich cookies or chocolate wafers for variation.
  • Add coffee or chocolate extract to the frosting for extra flavor.
  • Use a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free option.
  • Swap chocolate cake layers for vanilla for a different cookies and cream experience.
  • Serve with milk or vanilla ice cream.
  • Garnish with berries for color.
  • Bake cake layers a day ahead and store wrapped.
  • Frosted cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze individual slices wrapped for up to 2 months; thaw in the fridge.
