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 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
- Additional crushed Oreos for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add eggs, milk, vegetable 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 among 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 to wire racks to cool completely.
- Prepare the Frosting: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream, mixing until smooth. Stir in peppermint extract and crushed Oreos.
- Assemble the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of mint frosting on top, then repeat with the second layer. Place the third layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining mint frosting.
- Decorate: Sprinkle additional crushed Oreos on top of the cake for decoration. Slice and serve.
