How to Make Ferrero Rocher & Oreo Dream Cake
Let’s dive into making this dreamy cake! Here’s everything you need and how to do it step by step.
Ingredients:
For the cake layers:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
For the filling and frosting:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup crushed Oreos
- 10 Ferrero Rocher chocolates, chopped (plus extra for decoration)
Optional: Additional Oreos for garnish
Directions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans so the cake comes out easily.
-
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Then add in the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well mixed. Gradually pour in the boiling water and stir until the batter is smooth.
-
Divide the batter evenly into the two prepared pans. Bake them for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean. Let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then take them out and let them cool completely on wire racks.
-
For the filling, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks start to form. Then, slowly mix in the powdered sugar and cream cheese. Finally, fold in the crushed Oreos and chopped Ferrero Rocher chocolates.
-
After the cakes have cooled completely, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a nice layer of the Oreo filling on top. Add the second cake layer, then frost the whole cake with any leftover filling.
-
Decorate the top with more chopped Ferrero Rocher chocolates and whole Oreos if you like.
-
Chill your cake in the fridge for at least 1 hour before you slice and serve it. This helps the flavors blend together and makes it taste even better!

Slice the cake into generous pieces and serve it on beautiful plates. You can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce on the side for an extra treat!
