Rich, chocolate cake meets coffee and Oreo frosting for a rich, decadent cake combo that you won't be able to stop eating.

Allow cake to cool completely before frosting. While cake cools, beat butter and powdered sugar together in bowl of stand mixer (or using hand mixer).

Frost cooled cake and top with extra crushed Oreos and a hint of espresso powder. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days, allow to cool to room temp before eating, and enjoy!
