This triple-layered drip cake is really something else. You are looking at 3 completely different layers: chocolate chip cookie, then a crushed oreo layer topped with a brownie layer. The top is drenched in a chocolate ganache with lots of biscuits and cookies on the top.
Although it looks like a challenge, it's the same basic sponge mixture with different additions for each layer which makes it relatively simple to make. You're going to want to eat a big slice of this. Put your stretchy pants on.

Step 3
Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Ingredients for this step
Butter (unsalted)(125g)
Billington's Unrefined Golden Caster Sugar(340g)
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time with a spoonful of flour to prevent the egg from curdling.
Ingredients for this step
Eggs (large)(6)
Self Raising Flour(340g)
Step 5
Add the vanilla extract and mix well
Ingredients for this step
Nielsen-Massey Vanilla Extract(1 tsp)
Step 6
Fold in the rest of the flour with the baking powder.
Ingredients for this step
Self Raising Flour(340g)
Baking powder(1 1/2 tsp)
Step 7
Divide the mixture into 3 equal amounts.
Step 8
In one, mix the treacle and chocolate chips with 1 tbsp. milk. In another mix in the cocoa powder and 1 tbsp. milk. In the last mix in the crushed Oreos and 1 tbsp milk. Put each mixture into one of the prepared tins.
Ingredients for this step
Silver spoon treacle(3 tbsp)
Dark chocolate chips(75g)
Cocoa powder(30g)
Oreo biscuits (crushed)(7)
Milk (full fat)(3 tbsp)
Step 9
Bake in your preheated oven for 25 minutes. The cakes may need a few minutes longer if they are on lower shelves. The cake is ready when the sponge springs back when pressed with a fingertip.
Step 10
Once cooked, cool in the tins for 5 minutes and then turn out of the tins and allow to cool completely on a rack.
Step 11
While the cakes are cooling, mix your buttercream by combining all the ingredients. Whisk hard for 5 minutes until it is really pale and light. When the cakes are cooled, place on your serving plate. Spread the chocolate chip layer with 1/3 of the buttercream, top with the Oreo layer; spread this with 1/3 of the buttercream. Finish with the chocolate layer. Coat the cake with the remaining buttercream. Spread this thinly to create a "naked" finish.
Ingredients for this step
Butter (unsalted)(125g)
Silver Spoon Icing Sugar(250g)
Milk (full fat)(3 tbsp)
Nielsen-Massey Vanilla Extract(15ml)
Step 12
To make the ganache, chop the chocolate into very small pieces. Heat the
cream until nearly boiling. Pour this over the chopped chocolate and stir until it
melts. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Ingredients for this step
Dark chocolate(200g)
Double cream(200ml)
Step 13
To decorate the cake, pour over enough ganache to make it drip over the
sides (you might not need it all) and top with oreos, cookies and brownie bits.
