What To Avoid While Making this Recipe?
- Avoid overmixing the cake batter after adding the boiling water, as this can result in a dense texture.
- Make sure to cool the cake layers completely before frosting to prevent the whipped cream from melting.
- Do not skip chilling the cake in the refrigerator before serving, as this helps set the frosting and enhances the flavors.
- Be gentle when spreading the whipped cream and adding the crushed Oreos to avoid deflating the frosting.
- Ensure that the heavy cream is cold before whipping to achieve stiff peaks for the frosting.
