        INSTRUCTIONS


        1. Prepare three 8 inch cake pans with parchment paper circles in the bottom, and grease the sides.
        2. Add all dry ingredients to a large bowl and whisk together.
        3. Add eggs, buttermilk and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients and mix well.
        4. Add vanilla to boiling water and add to mixture. Mix well.
        5. Divide batter between three cakes pans and bake at 300 degrees for about 30-33 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs.
        6. Remove cakes from oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes, then remove to cooling racks to cool completely.
        7. Make icing while cakes cool. Beat together butter and shortening until smooth.

        9. Add vanilla and Oreo crumbs and mix until smooth.

        12. Once cakes are cool, remove cake domes from top with a large serrated knife.
        13. Place first layer of cake on cake plate. Spread 1/2 of the icing with the chopped Oreos on top in an even layer.
