Ingredients
  

CAKE:

  • 1 box devil's food cake mix
  • one 3.4 to 3.9-ounce package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ¾ cup vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

FROSTING:

DECORATION:

  • 12 Oreos (crush 4 and keep 8 whole)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉. and grease two 8-inch round cake pans.  If you are able to line the bottoms of the round pans with parchment paper, it will be easier to remove the cakes from the pans.  Also, if you want nice, flat layers, attach cake strips to the pans. (They can be found at craft stores like Michael's or on Amazon.)
  • Sift the cake and pudding mixes into a medium bowl; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, sour cream and vanilla extract.  Stir in the dry ingredients.
  • Divide the batter between the two pans.  Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely, then slide a knife around the edge of the pan and turn it over onto a rack.  Tap your knife around the center of the bottom of the pan if it isn't coming out easily (to loosen it up).  Repeat with the 2nd cake.
  • To make the frosting:  In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter and cream cheese.  Add the vanilla extract and milk; gradually add powdered sugar until frosting reaches a desired spreading consistency.  Place about ⅓ of the frosting into a small bowl with 1½ cups of the crushed Oreos and fold until combined.  This will be the frosting you use between the layers.
  • To assemble the cake:  Place one layer on a cake platter, spread the Oreo frosting on top of the cake, then place the 2nd layer on top of the frosting.  Cover the entire cake with cream cheese frosting that has not been mixed with the cookies.  Decorate with crushed cookies on the sides and whole cookies on top.  I had a little bit of frosting left over... so I mixed it with some very finely crushed Oreos and piped it on for decoration on top.
