Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (120g) milk
- 1/4 cup (55g) vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup (135g) brown or white sugar
- 1/3 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (120g) warm water
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee (optional)
- 8 Oreo cookies, crushed
- 1 cup (226g) cream cheese (room temperature)
- 2/3 cup (90g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup (180g) cold heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, mix the milk, oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until combined.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mix, stirring until well blended.
- Slowly stir in the warm water, adding coffee if using, to make the batter thin.
- Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cakes cool.
- For the filling, crush the Oreos and set aside. In a bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks and gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture along with the crushed Oreos.
- Assemble the cake by layering the Oreo filling between the cooled cake layers and on top of the final layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Garnish with crushed Oreos or chocolate ganache if desired.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smoother filling. Adjust sweetness of the filling by modifying powdered sugar. A splash of coffee can add extra flavor to the batter.
