# Detailed Preparation Steps:

01 - Set your oven to 175 degrees Celsius. Grease and flour your pans or lay down some parchment paper.
02 - Take a big bowl and mix together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until it’s all blended.
03 - In another bowl, beat the eggs well then add buttermilk, coffee, oil, and vanilla. Mix until it’s smooth.
04 - Slowly mix the wet into the dry stuff. Stir until you get a smooth, lump-free batter.
05 - Split the batter evenly in the pans. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
06 - Beat the cream cheese with butter until creamy. Slowly add powdered sugar, cream, vanilla, and salt. Beat until fluffy and light.
07 - Gently fold in the crushed Oreos so they’re spread evenly but don’t overmix.
08 - Spread the Oreo buttercream between cake layers, stacking them up evenly.
09 - Cover the cake with a thin coat of buttercream to catch crumbs. Chill it in the fridge for half an hour.
10 - Finish frosting the cake with the rest of the buttercream. Sprinkle crushed Oreos and add whipped cream if you like.

# Helpful Tips:

01 - Cool coffee really boosts the chocolate taste.
02 - Make sure butter and cream cheese are soft so frosting is nice and smooth.
03 - Add more or less powdered sugar to get the frosting the way you like it.
04 - Chilling the crumb coat stops crumbs from messing up the final frosting.
