Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare cake pans by buttering and dusting with flour; line bottoms with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder, and sift for extra smoothness if desired.
In a large bowl, beat together salted butter and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
Alternately mix in flour and milk, starting and ending with flour to keep batter light.
Gently fold in large Oreo chunks, keeping them intact for delightful surprises in each slice.
Divide batter into prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, checking with a toothpick; let layers cool completely before frosting.
For frosting, beat salted butter until soft, then gradually add powdered sugar with splashes of milk until smooth and spreadable.
Fold in small Oreo chunks carefully for added texture and flavor.
Level cake layers if necessary and assemble the cake with frosting between layers and around the sides.
Chill in fridge for 2 hours to set frosting, then sprinkle finely crushed Oreos over the top before slicing, serving, and enjoying.

Notes

Using room temperature ingredients helps the batter mix better for a light cake.
Chilling the frosted cake allows for better frosting texture and easier slicing.
Feel free to adjust the amount of crushed Oreos based on personal preference for flavor.
