🧁 Ingredients

For the Cake Layers:

  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tbsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp baking soda

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

  • 1¾ cups granulated sugar

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

  • 1 cup buttermilk

  • 1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos work best!)

For the Frosting:

  • 1½ cups unsalted butter, room temperature

  • 4½ cups powdered sugar

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • ¼ cup heavy cream (plus more if needed)

  • 1 cup finely crushed Oreos (filling removed)

For the Chocolate Ganache Drip:

  • ½ cup heavy cream

  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Decorations:

  • Whole Oreos

  • Mini chocolate chips

  • Oreo crumbs

  • Swirls of frosting


πŸ‘©‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Cake:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line three 8-inch round cake pans.

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3–4 minutes).

  • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

  • Add the dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined.

  • Gently fold in crushed Oreos.

  • Divide batter evenly among prepared pans.

  • Bake 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  • Let cakes cool completely in pans, then turn out onto wire racks.


2. Make the Frosting:

  • Beat butter on high speed until smooth and creamy.

  • Gradually add powdered sugar, beating well between each addition.

  • Add vanilla extract and heavy cream. Beat until light and fluffy.

  • Fold in finely crushed Oreos (without filling) for a cookies-and-cream texture.


3. Make the Ganache Drip:

  • Heat cream in a small saucepan until just simmering (do not boil).

  • Pour over chocolate chips in a bowl and let sit for 2 minutes.

  • Stir until smooth and glossy. Let cool slightly until it reaches drip consistency.


4. Assemble the Cake:

  • If needed, level the cake layers using a serrated knife.

  • Spread frosting between each layer. Then frost the top and sides of the cake evenly.

  • Pour cooled ganache over the top, gently pushing to create drips along the sides.

  • Pipe swirls of frosting on top.

  • Garnish with whole Oreos, mini chocolate chips, and cookie crumbs.


🍰 Serves: 12–14 slices

Tip: Chill the frosted cake for 15 minutes before adding ganache to ensure the perfect drip!
