Hershey's "Perfectly Chocolate" Cake with Oreo Buttercream Frosting

I confess. I am a chocoholic. The fact that this cake is chocolate AND has an Oreo frosting did not escape my notice. I will not be held responsible for caloric content or fat grams, but I will tell you that it is worth it! You all know that I am a Duncan Hines cake mix girl but this chocolate cake is SO simple to put together and so delicious. I will be making it from now on whenever I need a chocolate cake for anything. It is THAT good. Hope you enjoy!!

FOR THE CAKE:

2 c. sugar
1 3/4 c. all purpose flour
3/4 c. cocoa powder (Hershey's, of course)
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs, room temperature
1 c. milk
1/2 c. vegetable oil
2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. boiling water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
Stir together dry ingredients.
Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla.
Beat on medium speed for two minutes.
Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin).
Pour into two 9" round baking pans that have been generously coated with cooking spray and lined with parchment paper (trust me, this cake will stick if your pans are not properly prepared).
Bake for 23 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of each cake comes out clean.

While cake is cooling prepare your frosting. You will need:

1 cup butter, room temperature
2 tsp. vanilla
3 Tbsp. milk or heavy cream
4 c. powdered sugar
16 Oreos, finely crushed 

In a large bowl cream butter, vanilla and milk.
Slowly add in powdered sugar until creamy and fluffy.
Mix in crushed Oreos until well combined.
Spread onto cake after cake has cooled completely.
