Instructions

  1. Make the Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line three 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pans. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until combined. Slowly pour in the hot coffee, mixing until smooth. Divide evenly into pans and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.
  2. Make the Oreo Buttercream: Beat butter until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing well. Add heavy cream and vanilla, beat until creamy. Fold in crushed Oreos.
  3. Assemble the Cake: Place the first cake layer on a cake board. Spread a generous layer of Oreo buttercream. Repeat with remaining layers. Cover the entire cake with a thin crumb coat, chill for 20 minutes. Apply a thick final coat of Oreo buttercream, smoothing with a spatula. Press Oreo crumbs around the bottom edge.
  4. Make the Chocolate Drip: Heat cream until steaming, pour over chocolate chips. Let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Let cool slightly, then drip over edges of the chilled cake.
  5. Decorate: Pipe swirls of Oreo buttercream on top. Place whole Oreos into the swirls. Sprinkle with Oreo crumbs.
