Ingredients

• For the cake:
• - 2 cups all-purpose flour
• - 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• - 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• - 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• - 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• - 1 teaspoon salt
• - 2 large eggs
• - 1 cup milk
• - 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• - 1 cup boiling water
• For the cookies and cream frosting:
• - 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
• - 4 cups powdered sugar
• - 1/4 cup milk
• - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• - 10 Oreo cookies, crushed (cream filling removed)
• For the cookie crumble topping:
• - 10 Oreo cookies, crushed

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
4. Slowly pour in the boiling water and mix until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin, but that's okay!
5. Divide the batter equally between the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
6. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cakes onto a wire rack to cool completely.
7. To make the cookies and cream frosting, beat the softened butter in a large mixing bowl until creamy.
8. Gradually add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to the butter, beating well after each addition. Mix until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
9. Crush the Oreo cookies (cream filling removed) into small pieces. Add them to the frosting and mix until well combined.
10. Place one of the cooled cakes on a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of the cookies and cream frosting on top.
11. Carefully place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting, making sure to cover the sides as well.
12. Sprinkle the crushed Oreo cookies over the top of the cake for the cookie crumble topping.
13. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the frosting to set.
14. Slice and serve the delicious Cookies and Cream Cake to enjoy!
