1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup crushed chocolate cookies (like Oreos)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder for frosting
1 teaspoon vanilla extract for frosting

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add Wet Ingredients: Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined. Gradually stir in boiling water until the batter is smooth.
Bake the Cake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Prepare the Crumble: In a bowl, mix crushed chocolate cookies with softened butter until crumbly. Set aside.
Make the Frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together softened butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting on top, then sprinkle with cookie crumble. Add the second layer of cake and frost the top and sides of the cake. Finish with remaining cookie crumble on top.
Serve: Slice and serve the cake at room temperature. Enjoy!
