Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease 3 round cake pans (23 cm) and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the hot water (or coffee) to the batter and mix well.
- Evenly divide the batter among the three prepared pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool completely.
Filling preparation
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
- Gradually add the cold whipped cream and mix on high speed until thick and fluffy.
- Sprinkle in the powdered sugar and a splash of vanilla, mixing until well combined.
- Carefully fold in the crushed Oreos.
Assembly
- Place the first layer of cake on a cake stand and generously spread Oreo cream on top; sprinkle with extra crushed Oreos.
- Place the second layer on top and repeat the cream and Oreo layer process.
- Add the third layer and cover the entire cake with a crumb coat.
- Chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes, then fully cover the cake with the remaining Oreo cream and decorate with whole Oreos.
- Let the cake chill for at least 30 to 60 minutes before slicing to help set the layers.
Notes
Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter. Chilling your whipped cream and cream cheese before mixing helps achieve the best texture.
