Instructions
-
Position oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat to 350 degrees F. Generously spray two 9-inch cake pans with nonstick spray. Line the bottom of the pan with Oreos in a single layer.
-
In a large bowl, using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, blend the cocoa powder, sugar, cake flour, baking soda, and salt together on low speed for 30 seconds.
-
Add the eggs, oil, sour cream, and vanilla and mix for 1 minute on medium-low speed.
-
Remove the bowl from the mixer and add the coffee and chocolate chips; stir to combine. Some of the chocolate chips will melt as you stir. Try to avoid over mixing the batter.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans over the Oreos.
-
Bake for 28 to 32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
-
While the cake cools, make the Oreo Cream Filling. In a large bowl, using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and shortening together on high speed until fluffy.
-
Add the confectioner’s sugar, 1 cup at a time, alternating with the milk/cream and vanilla. Set aside in the refrigerator.
-
While the cake cools, make the Chocolate Buttercream. In a large bowl, using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter on high speed until fluffy for about 1 minute.
-
Beat in the cocoa powder and vanilla on low speed then add the confectioner’s sugar 1 cup at a time, alternating with the milk/cream. Set aside in the refrigerator.
-
Once the cakes are cooled, assemble the cake. Place 1 cooled layer on a cake stand or large plate, Oreo cookie side down.
-
Using an offset spatula or knife, cover the top with a 1-inch thick layer of Oreo Cream Filling. Top with the 2nd cake, Oreo cookie side up.
-
Cover the tall layer cake with chocolate buttercream. Working quickly, cover the cake in Oreo crumbs.
-
Slice and serve the cake. Leftover cake can be covered and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
