Cake:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 9 inch round baking pans; line the bottoms with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla; mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add boiling water; mix until smooth.
Divide batter into prepared pans. Bake 30 - 35 minutes or until wooden toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in the pans; remove from pans to wire racks, upside down to flatten domed cakes; cool completely.
Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, mix heavy whipping cream until firm peaks form.
In another mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Combine cream cheese and whipped cream together; stir in crushed Oreo cookies.
Ganache:
In a sauce pan over a low heat, melt chopped milk chocolate; remove from heat; stir in heavy cream; stir until smooth; pour over assembled cake. If it’s too runny, cool it a little until ganache is thickened but still thin enough to drip down the sides of the cake.
Assembly:
Spread filling on bottom layer of cooled cake; carefully place 2nd layer on top of filling; spoon chocolate ganache on top of the cake. Garnish with chocolate chips and whipped cream, if desired.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
12 servings.
