The hubby's Birthday Adventure P3- Oreo Chocolate Cake

So I waited till the Friday (His Birthday was on Wednesday), and baked him a very very sinful chocolate cake. We were meeting a big group of friends, and what more of a celebration when we have groups of people sharing cake right?

I cheated with this recipe and used the Chocoholic's Chocolate cake recipe from The Women's Weekly. I crushed a packet of oreos (Sneaking a few in my mouth first), and added into the batter. The result was a smooth, chocolate cake with lots of bity bits.

Mini oreos were used to decorate the cake together with a packet of Maltesers! The crunch of the chocolate balls and tiny oreos makes it a delight!
