I am in the process of making this cake. I have baked quite a few cakes in my life, but I have made a mess with this icing. I should have used my cake-common-sense before icing this thing, but it is midnight so that’s my excuse! My first problem is that after I iced the bottom layer and put the Oreo layer on, I just thought the more Oreos I could squeeze on the better, right? No! Because by the time I had put more icing on that and then assembled the top layer on, I realized everything is moving around and not staying put! Oreos are sneaking out the side of the cake layers. So a word to the wise, more Oreos is NOT better! Right now I have the crumb coating on and the cake is setting in the fridge, as well as the icing. Maybe it would have helped to chill the icing a little bit before assembly. But I know it’s going to taste good! Presentation will be sloppy, but it will all come out the same in the end.

I made this today for my husband’s birthday because our three daughters thought Daddy wanted chocolate cake, but I knew my husband isn’t a huge chocoholic. So, this was the compromise, and it was a huge success. My only complaint is that the frosting recipe made a TON! I have a lot left over, and now I must find something to use it. My twins have both said they want this for their birthday cake in September, so it is a keeper for sure.

My son chose this cake to bake for me for my birthday. It was awesome. He used dutch cocoa, but our cake didn’t turn out as dark…just wondering what brand of cocoa you used?
Yummy anyways, thanks for a great recipe!
