- Make the chocolate cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, and sugar.
- Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes until smooth.
- Gradually add the boiling water to the batter, mixing until combined (it will be thin).
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the Oreo cream cheese filling:
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until well combined.
- Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.
- Assemble the cake:
- Once the cakes are fully cooled, place one layer of cake on a serving plate.
- Spread a generous layer of Oreo cream cheese filling on top.
- Add the second layer of cake and lightly press it down.
- Make the chocolate ganache:
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Pour the ganache over the top of the assembled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides for a beautiful finish.
- Decorate:
- For an extra Oreo touch, crumble additional Oreos and sprinkle them on top of the cake.
- Let the ganache set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
