CHOCOLATE GANACHE
• 6 oz (1 cup | 169g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy whipping cream
• Oreos, optional
NOTE: You’ll need at least one full package of Oreos. If you plan to decorate the outside of the cake with more Oreos, as shown, you might need a second package.
Instructions
• Prepare three 8 inch cake pans with parchment paper circles in the bottom, and grease the sides.
• Add all dry ingredients to a large bowl and whisk together.
• Add eggs, milk and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients and mix well.
• Add vanilla to boiling water and add to mixture. Mix well.
• Divide batter between three cakes pans and bake at 300 degrees for about 30-33 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs.
• Remove cakes from oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes, then remove to cooling racks to cool completely.
• Make icing while cakes cool. Beat together butter until smooth.
• Slowly add 4 cups of powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
• Add vanilla, Oreo crumbs and salt and mix until smooth.
• Add another 4-5 cups of powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Add water or milk until you get a smooth consistency.
• Set aside about 3 1/2 cups of icing for the filling inside the cake and add chopped Oreos, if using.
• Once cakes are cool, remove cake domes from top with a large serrated knife.
• Place first layer of cake on cake plate. Spread 1/2 of the icing with the chopped Oreos on top in an even layer.
• Add second layer of cake and add the rest of the of icing with chopped Oreos on top in an even layer.
• Add final layer of cake on top and frost the outside of the cake with remaining frosting. Feel free to use my tutorial for how to frost a smooth cake.
