Equipment Needed

9-inch springform pan (for cheesecake layer)
Two 9-inch round cake pans
Mixing bowls
Electric mixer or stand mixer
Wire rack for cooling
Spatula for frosting
Piping bag (optional for decoration)

The springform pan ensures an easy release of the cheesecake, and an electric mixer helps create a smooth batter. A wire rack is essential for even cooling before assembling the cake.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oreo Cheesecake Layer

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating just until combined. Mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream.
Fold in the crushed Oreos gently.
Pour the cheesecake batter into the pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the edges are set but the center has a slight jiggle.
Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
Transfer to the fridge and chill for at least 4 hours (or overnight for best results).

Step 2: Bake the Chocolate Cake Layers

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch cake pans with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract and beat until smooth.
Slowly add the boiling water, mixing until combined (batter will be thin).
Divide the batter evenly between the cake pans.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 3: Make the Chocolate Frosting

Beat the butter until fluffy.
Add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing on low.
Pour in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, then beat on high until smooth and fluffy.

Step 4: Assemble the Cake

Place one chocolate cake layer on a serving plate.
Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and place it on top of the cake.
Add the second chocolate cake layer.
Frost the entire cake with chocolate frosting, smoothing it out evenly.
Decorate with whole and crushed Oreos, and drizzle with chocolate ganache if desired.

Tips and Variations

For a crunchier cheesecake layer, add a crust using crushed Oreos mixed with melted butter.
Gluten-Free Option: Use a gluten-free flour blend for the cake and gluten-free Oreos.
Make it extra chocolatey: Add mini chocolate chips to the cheesecake layer for bursts of chocolate.
Frosting alternative: Try a whipped Oreo buttercream for a cookies-and-cream twist.

Serving Suggestions

Serve chilled or at room temperature for the best texture.
Garnish with whipped cream swirls and a few extra Oreos for a bakery-style look.
Drizzle slices with chocolate syrup or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.

Pairings

Milk: Classic and balances the rich flavors.
Coffee or espresso: The bitterness contrasts beautifully with the sweetness.
Red wine: A Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon complements the deep chocolate notes.

Storage and Reheating

Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container for 4-5 days.
Freezing: Wrap slices individually and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
Reheating: While best served cold, you can microwave slices for 10-15 seconds for a softer texture.
