For a thicker ganache, use less cream or add more chocolate.
Chill the ganache slightly before pouring it over the cake for a more controlled drizzle.
Use whole Oreo cookies as a filling for added texture and flavor.
To make the cake extra indulgent, add crushed Oreos between the cake layers.

Ingredients

Custard Cream
01
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
03
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
04
1/4 teaspoon salt
05
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
06
1 cup granulated sugar
07
2 large eggs
08
1 cup buttermilk
09
1/2 cup vegetable oil
10
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
11
1 cup boiling water
12
12 Oreo cookies (for the cake batter)
13
1 cup heavy cream (for the ganache)
14
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (chopped)
15
1/4 cup powdered sugar (for filling)
16
8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
17
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
18
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
19
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (for filling)
20
10-12 Oreo cookies (for garnish and inside the cake)
21
Extra Oreo crumbs (for decoration)

Instructions

01
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch cake pans with parchment paper.
02
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
03
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar, eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
04
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
05
Chop the Oreo cookies into small pieces and fold them into the batter.
06
Slowly pour in the boiling water and mix until smooth. The batter will be thin, which is expected.
07
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
08
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
09
For the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chopped semi-sweet chocolate. Stir until smooth and glossy.
10
For the filling, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
11
Once the cakes are cooled, spread a layer of the cream cheese filling over the top of one of the cakes. Place whole Oreo cookies over the filling.
12
Place the second cake layer on top, then pour the chocolate ganache over the top, letting it drip down the sides.
13
Garnish the cake with Oreo crumbs and extra whole Oreo cookies on top.
14
Let the ganache set for 30 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
