  • 0.25 cups heavy cream
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt for buttercream

Instructions
 

Baking Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans and line with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Whisk in eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Pour in hot coffee and mix until just combined (batter will be thin).
  • Fold in chopped Oreos gently.
  • Divide batter evenly between prepared pans.
  • Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Making Buttercream

  • Dissolve instant coffee granules in hot water; set aside to cool.
  • In a large bowl, beat butter on high speed until creamy and pale, about 3 minutes.
  • Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing on low and then on medium until fully combined.
  • Add dissolved coffee, heavy cream, and salt; beat until fluffy, 3–4 minutes.
  • Fold in finely crushed Oreos until just combined.

Assembling Cake

  • Place one cake layer on your serving plate. Spread a thick layer of buttercream over the top.
  • Top with the second cake layer and frost the top and sides generously.
  • Decorate with extra Oreo cookies as desired.
  • Slice and indulge!

Notes

For best results, allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
