Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. 3

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Boiling Water

    Carefully add the boiling water to the batter and mix until smooth. The batter will be thin.

  5. 5

    Add Mint Oreos

    Chop 5 Mint Oreos and fold them into the batter.

  6. 6

    Bake the Cakes

    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool the Cakes

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Frosting Preparation

  1. 8

    Make the Frosting

    In a bowl, beat the unsalted butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and cocoa powder, alternating with milk and vanilla extract, until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.

  2. 9

    Frost the Cake

    Place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread frosting on top, and place the second layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake.

  3. 10

    Decorate with Oreos

    Crush remaining Mint Oreos and sprinkle on top of the frosted cake for decoration.
