Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cake Batter:

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).

Grease and line three 8-inch round cake pans.

In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla extract.

Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with milk, starting and ending with the dry mixture.

2. Bake the Cake Layers:

Divide batter evenly among the pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let cakes cool completely.

3. Make the Frosting:

Beat butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream. Mix until smooth and fluffy.

4. Assemble the Cake:

Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread frosting evenly on top, then sprinkle with crushed Oreos.

Repeat with the second layer. Top with the final layer and frost the entire cake.

5. Decorate the Cake:

Use remaining frosting to pipe decorations around the edges. Garnish with mini Oreos or whole Oreos on top. Sprinkle crushed Oreos around the base.
