Instructions

Cake Preparation

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease three 9-inch cake pans and line with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, butter, and milk. Beat until smooth.
  3. Bake the Cakes: Divide batter evenly among the pans. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Cool the Cakes: Let them cool on a wire rack before removing from pans.

Oreo Frosting

  1. Cream the Butter: Beat butter and vanilla until fluffy.
  2. Add Sugar and Cream: Gradually add powdered sugar and cream; beat until smooth.
  3. Incorporate Oreos: Fold in the crushed Oreos. Set aside 1 cup of frosting in a piping bag.

Chocolate Ganache

  1. Simmer Cream: Heat cream in a saucepan until simmering.
  2. Melt Chocolate: Pour over chocolate chips; let sit for 1 minute, then whisk until smooth.
  3. Transfer to Bottle: Pour ganache into a squeeze bottle for easy application.

Cake Assembly

  1. Level the Cakes: Use a cake leveler to trim the tops.
  2. Layer the Cake: Place a layer on a board, spread with frosting, and repeat with remaining layers.
  3. Frost the Cake: Apply frosting on top and sides. Chill for at least 1 hour.

Decoration

  1. Ganache Drip: Drizzle ganache along the edges of the cake.
  2. Pipe Frosting: Use the piping bag to create frosting dollops on the cake top.
  3. Garnish: Place whole Oreos on each frosting dollop.

Tips & Tricks

  • Avoid Overbaking: Check for doneness with a toothpick.
  • Smooth Surfaces: Chill cake layers before frosting for easier handling.
  • Finely Crushed Oreos: Ensure Oreos are well-crushed to avoid clogging the piping tip.

Storage & Reheating

  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Freezing: Wrap cake layers in plastic wrap and foil for 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before assembling.
  • Reheat: Allow refrigerated slices to come to room temperature before serving.
