Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray the bottom of the three 8-inch or four 6-inch round cake pans with cooking spray and line bottoms with parchment. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a medium bowl or measuring cup, combine the eggs, buttermilk, water or coffee, oil and coffee extract. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth, about 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again for another 10 to 20 seconds. Divide batter equally among the three cake pans (about 16 ounces of batter in each 8-inch pan or 12 ounces in each 6-inch pan). Bake the layers for about 25 to 30 minutes (time may vary depending on your oven) or until a wooden pick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with only a few moist crumbs on it. Let the cakes cool in pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes, and then turn onto a rack to cool completely. When completely cooled, wrap the layers in plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour in the freezer. Cakes can be make a week ahead of time and wrapped in plastic wrap. If you'd like to store the cake layers longer than a week, wrap in tin foil, as well, and then place in a zip lock bag.

  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the heavy whipping cream on high for about 3 to 5 minutes, until the cream forms stiff peaks. Transfer the cream to another bowl and set aside. In the now empty bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese for a couple minutes until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and then coffee extract. Beat for a couple minutes until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream until no streaks of whipping cream remain. Fold in the crushed Oreos.  Best to make right before you assemble the cake so the cookies don't get soggy. If you want to make this ahead of time, just leave out the Oreos until you're ready to assemble.

This cake was sooooooo good. I made it for my birthday party but I did butter in stead of oil and oat milk instead of butter milk and I got 1000000 compliments

Elena ★ 5.0/5

Just baked my first ever 3 layer cake and this recipe was almost foolproof and totally delicious! My filling did come out a lot lighter in color and a slightly thinner consistency than pictured, but otherwise my cake looked and tasted exactly as described! So yummy, and I learned so many new skills while making this!

Cherie ★ 5.0/5

Really love this cake. The flavor combination is excellent! Since these are Limited Edition cookies, little tough to find but so glad I kept looking for them. The smell of this cake is devine and tastes great! Thank you.
