How to prepare Oreo Chocolate Drip Cake
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour 🌾
- 1 3/4 cups sugar 🍬
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 🍫
- 2 tsp baking powder 🌱
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda 🌱
- 1 tsp salt 🧂
- 2 large eggs 🥚
- 1 cup milk 🥛
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil 🛢️
- 2 tsp vanilla extract 🍨
- 1 cup boiling water 💧
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies 🍪
- 2 cups heavy cream 🍦
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips 🍫
- Whole Oreos for decoration 🍪
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans. 🏠
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well. 🥄
- Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes. 🥄
- Stir in the boiling water carefully. The batter will be thin, but that’s okay! 💧
- Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies until evenly distributed. 🍪
- Divide the batter equally between the two prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 👩🍳
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely. 🍰
- While the cakes are cooling, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. 🥄
- Once the cakes are completely cool, spread a layer of whipped cream on top of one layer, then place the other layer on top. Frost the entire cake with the remaining whipped cream. 🍦
- Melt the dark chocolate chips in a bowl over simmering water or in the microwave. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the cake and let it drip down the sides. 🍫
- Finish by decorating the top with whole Oreos. 🍪
