Instructions

Make the Cake Layers

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

In a large bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Add eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.

Slowly stir in hot coffee (batter will be thin).

Pour into pans and bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let cakes cool completely before assembling.

Prepare the Oreo Cream Filling

Beat whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold in crushed Oreos. Chill until ready to use.

Make the Frosting

Beat butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar gradually.

Mix in cream and vanilla until fluffy.

Fold in crushed Oreos.

Assemble the Cake

Slice cakes into two layers (you’ll have 4 thin layers total).

Place one cake layer on a stand, spread Oreo cream filling evenly.

Repeat with remaining layers.

Frost the outside with Oreo buttercream.

Decorate

Pipe frosting swirls on top.

Garnish with whole Oreo cookies around the edges.

Sprinkle with Oreo crumbs for extra flair.

✨ Tips

For a mocha twist, add 1 tsp espresso powder to the frosting.

Keep chilled if not serving immediately.
