Make-Ahead: Bake the cake layers up to 2 days in advance; wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze until ready to frost. Variations: Use chocolate sandwich cookies instead of Oreos, or add a layer of chocolate ganache between the cake layers. Serving Suggestion: Garnish with extra Oreo pieces or a drizzle of melted chocolate for an elegant touch.
