Ingredients

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
½ cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons peppermint extract
2-3 tablespoons milk (for frosting consistency)
1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (plus extra for garnish)
Chocolate shavings or mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease 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 extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined. Gradually stir in boiling water until the batter is smooth.
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. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Add peppermint extract and milk, adjusting the consistency as needed. 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 mint frosting on top, then place the second cake layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining mint frosting.
Garnish: Sprinkle additional crushed Oreos on top of the cake and add chocolate shavings or mint leaves for decoration, if desired.
Serve: Slice and serve the cake chilled or at room temperature.
