Preparazione

1. 1

   1. In a bowl, combine the cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and flour. In another bowl, cream the softened butter with the sugar until you have a creamy mixture. Add half of the dry mix to the butter and beat well. Now add the eggs one by one, only adding the next egg once the previous one has been fully incorporated into the batter. Preheat your oven to 180°C. Add the mascarpone to the batter and mix well again.2. Add the other half of the dry mix along with the melted chocolate. Mix everything until you have a smooth, even batter. Butter your springform pans and divide the batter between them. Bake the cakes for 35 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean. Then let them cool completely on a wire rack.3. Meanwhile make the buttercream by whipping both butters light and fluffy with a mixer. Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Carefully begin adding the powdered sugar little by little, stirring as you go. Once all the sugar is fully incorporated, add the milk. Add it spoonful by spoonful until you reach the desired consistency. Finally fold the finely chopped Oreos into the buttercream and spread a layer over the first, already cooled cake layer.4. Place the next cake on top and finish with a second layer of buttercream. There's a good chance you'll end up with more cream than you need.
