  3. In another bowl, mix the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until smooth. Gradually add to dry mixture, folding until just combined.
  4. Pour batter into the greased pan and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes. Check with a toothpick.

  8. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
  9. Decorate with whipped cream and crushed Oreo cookies before serving.
