Easy Chocolate Oreo Cake Recipe

This Chocolate Oreo Cake features moist chocolate cake layers filled and frosted with a luscious Oreo cream cheese frosting. The recipe takes about 1 hour from start to finish and serves 8-10 people.

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
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 boiling water
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (plus extra for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
Add Wet Ingredients: Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water until well combined (the batter will be thin).
Bake the Cakes: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Prepare the Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy. Fold in crushed Oreo cookies.
Assemble the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of Oreo frosting on top, then place the second cake layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining Oreo frosting.
Garnish: Sprinkle additional crushed Oreo cookies on top of the frosted cake for decoration. Slice and serve.
