Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray a non-stick 9-inch round baking pan with cooking spray.
Put flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and stir with a spoon so everything is combined.
Add melted butter and boiling water to the flour mixture and stir to combine. Add the whisked egg and vanilla and stir to combine.
Pour the batter in a baking pan.
Put the cake in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Make the Oreo frosting: crush the Oreo cookies into crumbs in a food processor. In a bowl, mix together butter and powdered sugar with a mixer, adding sugar 1/2 cup at a time. Add vanilla and heavy cream and mix until combined. Add the Oreo cookie crumbs and mix until combined.
Spread the Oreo frosting all over the cake. Add more Oreo crumbs and whole Oreo cookies on top of the cake to decorate if desired.
Notes
If you want a stronger Oreo flavor, you can add additional crushed Oreo cookies to the cake batter before baking.
To make the frosting extra creamy, you can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk.
