Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 175c. Line a 8 inch pyrex dish with parchment paper. Set it aside.

2. Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Mix well and set it aside.

3. In another bowl combine the milk, oil, vanilla and the egg. Beat it well until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

4. Slowly poor the hot water into the batter. The batter will be thin. Not a problem, keep going.

5. Pour the batter into the lined pyrex dish. Bake at 175c for 30 minutes.

6. Remove from the oven and set it aside.

7. Make the chocolate ganache: combine the chocolate chips and the sweetened condensed milk in a bowl. Heat it at 20 seconds bursts in the microwave until melted and smooth. Set that aside too.

8. Poke holes in the cake with a skewer, then pour three quarters of the gauche over the cake. Spread it over the cake so it evenly fills the holes in the cake.

9. Set the cake aside to come to room temperature.

10. Make the Oreo whipped cream: Beat the cream, sugar and cocoa powder until stiff peaks form. Fold the Oreos into the whipped cream.

11. Spread the whipped cream over the ganache layer. Smoothen it over. Top with additional chopped Oreos. Press them lightly into the cream.

12. Top the Oreo layer with a drizzle of the ganache.

13. Chill the dessert in the fridge for a few hours until ready to serve.
