Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
Crush one packet of OREO cookies into fine crumbs. Set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
-
Fold in the crushed OREO cookies.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
-
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
-
Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth.
-
Place one cake layer on a serving plate and pour half of the chocolate ganache over it. Place the second cake layer on top and pour the remaining ganache over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
-
Sprinkle the top of the cake with powdered sugar and decorate with sprinkles.
-
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
