Step 1: Bake the Cake Layers

• Divide batter between pans and bake for 30–35 minutes. Cool completely.

Step 2: Make Oreo Buttercream

• Beat butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla.
• Fold in finely crushed Oreos until fluffy and speckled.

Step 3: Assemble

• Place one cake layer on a stand. Spread buttercream evenly on top.

Step 4: Ganache & Topping

💡 Pro Tips

• Use room temperature ingredients for the fluffiest cake.
• Freeze cake layers for 20 minutes before frosting to prevent crumbs.
• Pulse Oreos finely for buttercream — chunky bits can clog piping tips.
• Store covered at room temp for 1 day or refrigerate up to 4 days.
