Ingredients

• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup Dutch Process (dark) Cocoa Powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water
• 12 Oreo cookies, crushed to fine crumbs
• Oreo Filling
• 2 envelopes (1/2 ounce total)
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 cups vegetable shortening
• 8 cups powdered sugar
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350. Butter and flour two 8-inch round baking pans.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla; beat with a mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin). Fold in Oreo crumbs. Pour batter evenly into prepared pans.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely. Cover cakes and let chill in the refrigerator until firm.
• Prepare Oreo Filling: Place gelatin in a heatproof bowl or cup and add 1/2 cup cold water. Stir until dissolved. Set cup/bowl of gelatin in a pan with a couple inches of simmering water. Stir the gelatin and let the water simmer until gelatin becomes thin and transparent. Let cool to lukewarm.
• In the bowl of your mixer, cream together shortening, powdered sugar, and vanilla until combined. Add gelatin and beat for 10 minutes.
• Using a serrated knife, level cakes and split each in half horizontally. Assemble cake, spreading each round with 1/4 of the Oreo filling. Top with crumbs from the trimmed cake pieces.
