Two layers of rich, chocolate Oreo cake with a fudgy chocolate buttercream and Oreo crumbles on top. Today I’m bringing you a ridiculously indulgent chocolate cake filled with Oreos and chocolate buttercream and topped with even more cookies! It’s a chocolate cookie lover’s dream come true. And *omg*, saying that it’s GOOD doesn’t even begin to cover it. This recipe combines my very favorite, ultimate go-to chocolate cake recipe with my favorite chocolate buttercream. So you know it’s going to be amazing. In addition to being uber amazing, this cake was my chocoholic two-year-old son’s birthday cake this year. Can I just take a second to say, what the what???? How on earth is my sweet baby two years old?! I know for a fact that I didn’t give him permission to get that old. Man, I miss my sweet little baby! ???? Annnnnnnnyway. Since it was his birthday cake, and the day was kind of crazy, I didn’t get around to taking pictures of the cake sliced. So you’ll have to make do with pictures of the outside of the cake and use your imagination a bit on the inside, so sorry! It looks a lot like the slice of cake in this post. But picture more Oreos. Take my word for it, this cake is totally something you need in your life. Enjoy!

This cake is out of control! It sounds so delicious. If I were to make this in our house I don’t think it would last more than 5 minutes. We are HUGE oreo fans here.
Holy Oreos! Blimey… 108? that’s crazy, I think Oreo needs to know about this cake, they could sponsor you, lol.
What does the lemon juice do in the cheesecake? Lemon and chocolate just seemed funny, but I see lemon juice in a lot of plain cheesecake recipes and just wondering. That cake is crazy! It certainly would make some chocolate lovers bday dreams come true!
