Ingredients
  

  • 250 g all-purpose flour
  • 75 g unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 200 g granulated sugar
  • 200 g brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 120 ml vegetable oil
  • 240 ml buttermilk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 240 ml hot water

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Two 9-inch round cake pans Cake pans
  • Food processor or rolling pin

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans, lining the bottoms with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil until creamy.
  4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, and mix on low speed until just combined. Stir in the vanilla and hot water.
  5. Pour the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. For the frosting, beat the softened butter until smooth, then gradually add the icing sugar, mixing on low speed. Add vanilla and a tablespoon of milk, then fold in the crushed Oreos.
  7. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and top with a layer of Oreo frosting. Stack the second cake layer on top and use the remaining frosting to cover the top and sides of the cake.
  8. Decorate by placing Ferrero Rocher chocolates around the top edge and sprinkle crushed Oreos over the top and sides.

Notes

For a fun twist, swap the regular Oreos with Mint Oreos or Golden Oreos for a different flavor.
Make sure your butter for the frosting is at room temperature for the best results.
This cake can be made a day in advance; just store the layers wrapped tightly and frost on the day you plan to serve.
Leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, consider freezing unfrosted cake layers for up to 2 months.
